Kira Covill, owner of Sloan's Lake (CO) Moms on the Run, came up with a great idea to increase her distance during the shelter-at-home order in Colorado: she set up a chart where she'll check off her miles during COVID-19. Her goal is to run three to four times a week, and add one additional mile to each run.

Dana Parisi, a coach with Eau Claire Moms on the Run, was on track to run her first marathon — the Eau Claire Marathon — on May 3.

CEO and Founder, Moms on the Run It's MOTRvate time, and I'm excited for myself and for all the women in our program who are going to take great strides toward their health goals this month. I want to share with you all the reasons I love MOTRvate! I need to get MOTRvated! Truth is, I need external motivation. Turning health "chores" into a game just makes it more fun. I get POINTS for eating veggies? Yes, please! I'm only competing against myself Okay, so I get that there is a prize if I get the top score, but I have absolutely zero chance of winning. And it doesn't matter. I like the idea of setting my own "doable" goal each week and seeing if I can get there. My youngest son is highly competitive. I'm embarrassed to admit that there are certain athletic activities he doesn't want to participate in because "he can't win." Ugh, I would think I have failed as a parent if I didn't have two other more sensible children! While he's still learning, personally I find a high sense of accomplishment in setting small goals and getting them done, and this leaves me more motivated to reach the next goal even if it may be slightly more challenging. Jacksonville (FL) Moms on the Run owner Amy Magdalein and Coach Ginger were featured on Jacksonville's River City Live show on WJXT-TV today to talk about their upcoming spring season, the new Northside location and how to use strength training to avoid injuries and continue running strong.
