Training Tip with Carrie: Self Care

Moms on the Run National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, gets vulnerable with us this week for Training Tip Tuesday! Today, she's wearing a facial mask and talking about self care. Let's face it, as women in this fast-paced world, we so often tend to others' needs that we forget to replenish our own buckets.

The concept of self care refers to taking responsibility for one's physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual health. Recognize that self care is not selfish; it is imperative for your health and that of your family. If you are a member of Moms on the Run, you are already taking a step that includes caring for yourself. Surrounding yourself with an inspiring community of other like-minded women is important for self care.

​Whether you are participating in our MOTRvate challenge this month or not, find time to do something for you: read a book, get a pedicure, meet up with a friend for coffee, take a bubble bath, go for a walk in the woods. Whatever you choose, have fun! You are worth it.
