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.

 Dear Moms on the Run Family and Friends,
As we wade through the mucky waters of a sudden national crisis, I find myself searching for the good. Looking for those silver linings that represent what positive could possibly come of this situation. And one thing that is really standing out to me is neighborly support, and a concerted effort from so many community members to ask how they can support small businesses at this time. We too are a small business. Many of them, actually! Moms on the Run is 51 locations independently owned and operated by 31 different business owners. Our central team that supports this is only five employees. Our mission at Moms on the Run is to inspire and transform women’s lives through fitness, fun and friendship. Like most other small business owners this month, we find ourselves completely shifting how we do business in order to continue our mission in these challenging times. But unlike many others, due to the seasonal nature of our business in most climates, 50% of our entire year’s revenues come in March and April, with the majority of that in March. As you can imagine, registrations for group fitness activities are not a thing on people's radars this month!  In light of all the recent events surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we at Moms on the Run want to share uplifting stories about what our members are doing to stay active, to continue to crush goals, and to remain in community as a team.
