 Ann Shama of Chanhassen/Chaska (MN) Moms on the Run was not a runner until the pandemic hit and her husband encouraged her to get outside. That fall, she joined Moms on the Run and has completed many 5Ks, 10Ks, 10 Milers and two half marathons — plus recruited her son into running, as well. Read more of Ann's story and learn why she's our inspiring member of the month.

 Thousands of women have been a part of Moms on the Run over the years, but only one — besides our founder — has been with us since "Mommies in Motion," the original mom and baby fitness class in 2007 where the idea for Moms on the Run was born. That honor goes to Heather Mihm of Forest Lake Moms on the Run. Heather exemplifies our ideal of #MOTRstrong, and we're so grateful and proud to have her as a member and coach for 15 years! Read more of her story and learn why we're honoring her with a special 15th anniversary edition of Most Inspiring Member.
 #10: I'm not a Mom.
You don't need to be a mom to join Moms on the Run! There are some activities throughout the season that include kids, and they are welcome at class (closely supervised by the parents). However, most locations have participants who are not moms. There are also kid-free Ladies Nights Out and running retreats. In addition, Moms on the Run is a wonderful support group for those going through difficulties conceiving children because some of our participants have also experienced infertility. We welcome all women: moms, non-moms, grandmas, anyone who wants to be active in the company of others! Raise your hand if you feel like you're doing so much running around with your kids that you don't have time for your actual run. Us too! Today, Moms on the Run National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, shares in the final video of our series on Workouts with Kids how she is in this exact stage of life and what she and her hubby do to fit in their own workouts. Often, when your kids are young, fitting in a workout seems like more of a workout amid a crazy, busy family schedule. Today, Moms on the Run National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, continues part 2 of our Workouts with Kids series. How many times do your kids want to go to the park and play? Take advantage of every opportunity to be active and consider their playground your gym. |
