Moms on the Run

The following message is a sponsored post by Focus Pointe Global. At Moms on the Run, we are grateful for opportunities that allow women the ability to work from home while earning a little bit of extra cash. Find out about paid focus groups and check out the opportunities Focus Pointe Global offers. 

Would you like to get paid for your opinions? Everyone could afford to earn extra cash every once in a while, and for only an hour or two of your time, you can earn extra spending money through paid focus groups. It’s understandable that as a wife, mom or busy woman, you may not have a ton of time on your hands. Your kids and other activities naturally keep you busy. Fortunately, these surveys and panels do not take up a lot of time, and you will be paid for simply giving your opinion on topics that interest you. 

We have two great challenges coming up to motivate you in the new year!

First, our Winter Workout Challenge is a free, fun challenge that will launch January 7. For one week, we will post on our national Facebook and Instagram pages one exercise a day to challenge all levels. If you are just beginning your journey, you can choose to do that day's challenge at one time or throughout the day, making sure to complete the exercise by the end of the day. If you are advanced, you can level up and do the daily challenge twice! (For example, 50 squats becomes 100 squats.) After you complete the exercise, you will post on our national Facebook page: challenge completed x1 or x2. This post will qualify you for that day's entry; one lucky winner on both Facebook and Instagram every day will win a coveted #MOTRstrong knit pom hat. The Winter Workout Challenge will run Monday through Sunday, Jan.7-13. 

I don't know about at your house, but at mine, our pup has his own stocking hung with care, ready for Santa to bring him treats for being a good boy all year — ok, well, most of the year. Find the perfect last-minute gifts for your four-legged friends with our sponsor Chuck & Don's 2018 Holiday Gift Guide.

What would you do if you traveled 1,900 miles for a race only to have it cancelled? A group of Moms on the Run members encountered this scenario — and ran it anyway!

Three weeks ago, the wildfires in northern California were raging, impacting the air quality hundreds of miles away in Monterey Bay, CA. Meanwhile, nine women from White Bear Lake/Shoreview Moms on the Run had traveled to compete in the Monterey 5K and Half Marathon the weekend of Nov. 10-11. ​
