Rob's Recommendations: Moms on the Run

Rosalie has been a part of our local chapter of Moms on the Run since it started up in Pine City about a year ago. It's led by our friend Heather Rank and Rosalie has really enjoyed being a part of it. According to their web site: "Moms on the Run is an instructor-led fitness program with coaching to motivate, educate and encourage you on your fitness journey."

 There are about half a dozen or so women that meet a few times a week (two night in the winter, three in the warmer months) to run or walk and get in shape together. She has really enjoyed being a part of this group and making some great new friends. She'll also tell you that it's been wonderful for accountability for her as she is getting ready to do another half marathon with me (and a bunch of other Pine City folk!) at Grandma's Marathon this June. (We'll actually be doing the Great Grandma's Half Challenge which includes a 5k the night before the half marathon.)

Here is a blurb from their web site:

Moms on the Run is a structured fitness program for women of all ages (not just moms) and fitness levels who want to get in shape--and have a fun time doing so. Run your first 5K, improve your speed and endurance or stay motivated in your walking routine. We focus on interval training to increase cardiovascular fitness levels and maximize metabolism benefits. You'll start right where you are and walk, jog or run your way to a first race or personal record.

I believe the next session starts at the end of April or in May. You can get more information on their web site or - if you are in Pine City - let me know and I'll get you connected to Heather.
