RUNNING WHILE PREGNANT

DO NOT OPEN UNTIL RACE DAY: POSTPARTUM PATIENCE EDITION
Don’t call it a comeback. Carrie Mack’s been here for years.
And yet, Carrie’s Eugene Half Marathon race on Sunday, May 1, is a comeback. Or rather, a slightly different Carrie will step to the line.

MY FAVORITE WAY TO COMMUNITY - THE OISELLE VOLÉE
Community. To some, gathering may be more magical in person, to others the magic comes from a mid-day check in direct message that gives you the boost you need to get through a tough day, and to others it might be being a part of a private digital group where you can connect to share ideas and source advice. These are all ways I tend to find my favorite type of community within our Oiselle Volée.

HIGH + TIGHT: THE STORY BEHIND THE UTERUS KEEPER
Turns out, according to research, it is unlady-like to be active and healthy. And potentially very dangerous to the human species as a whole, as the uterus may begin to wander throughout a woman’s body or potentially just drop right out. Learn about the Uterus Keeper in today's blog.
TRANS VISIBILITY + A TEAM FOR ALL WOMEN
Today, March 31, is International Transgender Day of Visibility, an event begun in 2009 by transgender activist Rachel Crandall Crocker to highlight and celebrate the lives of transgender people (particularly as a response to the more well-known Transgender Day of Rememberance, which calls attention to those whose lives were ended by violence).
SPRING 2022: BUSINESS IN THE FRONT, FLOWERS IN THE BACK
Welcome to Spring 22, the season of celebrating contrasts and complexity. Differences, from bold primaries to gentle pastels, mix, mingle, and motivate. From the softness of a floral print to the sharp confidence of a go-time pinstripe; more than ever, beauty in design is an expression of joy and resilience - and the ever-forward spirit of the athlete.
