For most people, COVID-19 has meant cancelled events, groups and memberships. But for two former members, the pandemic has created an opportunity to join something they've been missing on their calendars: Moms on the Run. The pivot to virtual training by Moms on the Run this spring gave both DeNae vanWestrienen of Evergreen, CO, and Lynnae Widen, of San Jose, CA, the opportunity to jump back in and re-join their former MOTR families, Blaine and Fridley. Read on to hear more of their stories.

One year ago, when Cassie Johnson joined Chanhassen Moms on the Run, she admits she couldn't run the two-minute interval as part of the learn-to-run program. This past weekend, she ran for two hours — completing her first 10-mile run and virtual race! We will never tire of these stories that show the power of the human spirit and our Moms on the Run community. Here is Cassie's story in her own words.

Eau Claire Moms on the Run member Karla Mannhardt and her daughter ran 19 trail miles last weekend, dubbing it CoRUNA-19, for our "Your Place, Your Pace" Virtual Run. A sweet friend even made them homemade medals. Read more of Karla's story and what makes her — and her daughter — #MOTRstrong. Moms on the Run National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, regularly shares training tips to help us strengthen our running, fitness and health, and today she talks about modeling fitness with our families. At Moms on the Run, our vision is to help women lead healthier lives and model active lifestyles to inspire the next generation of healthy families. When our kids see us getting ready to head out for a run or doing stretches in front of the TV or eating something healthy, that tells them our bodies are important. Right now, we are in the middle of our Virtual Run. This can be a solo activity, a way for you to get those miles in, or it can be a family walk or run, where they do it with you. Getting your kids involved in some exercises and making it fun for them can give them a lifelong love of it.  In times of stress, our cortisol levels and our blood sugar levels are both impacted, which makes us want to grab for a sugary treat or a simple carbohydrate. Coach Sarah helps us "expand our menu" during times of stress. What activities can you do to replace that emotional eating? Sarah introduces the concept of a nurture menu — options you can turn to to help you reduce stress and avoid food cravings. Some examples may be to take a warm bath, to go for a walk, or to drink your favorite tea. In our expanded content for members, we have an entire list to help you make your own nurture menu. Contact your local owner for more information. |
