2019 Tenacious Ten Photo Recap
It's hard to believe that the 2019 Tenacious 10 weekend is already a thing of the past, but we couldn't have asked for a better weekend! With teammates flocking to Seattle from all across the country, we had a weekend filled with team bonding, running, cowbelling, and of course, dance partying! Grab your tissues and get ready to re-live one epically tenacious weekend!
The weekend officially kicked off with Thursday Night Flight Club - Tenacious Ten Edition! So fun to welcome so many out of town teammates (and a few brobirds) to our Thursday night tradition. 
And of course, it was followed up with a happy hour celebration! 
Fellow Volée member Kelly Herron led a self defense workshop Friday morning where teammates learned to dig deep and fight back. 
The evening before the big race, Lauren Fleshman shared some race day wisdom. She called out some of the reasons why we race: because we care, because we can, because it's awesome...why do you race? 
The Seattle weather cooperated and offered up one of the best mornings Seattle has seen in a while. It's so much more fun to race in the sun! 
Moody Floral was a race day favorite! It was great to see so many Volée team singlets and crops along the course.
Not to mention, those Tenacious Ten Bandanas.
For the non-runners, the Cozy Bird Yeti proved to be the race morning attire of choice. 
Once the race got under way, the front of the pack were back in no time and SO many finish line celebrations ensued with the Oiselle women dominating the field! 
The day wrapped up with the cutest thing to ever happen on a race course: the kids 1K!
And, that's a wrap for 2019! Thank you for being part of it!

Core Routine For Runners: The Dozen
I was introduced to the "The Dozen" in the winter of 2012 by my favorite Oregon running family. I love this set of core exercises for its efficient targeting of core muscle groups, and because no gym equipment is required! You can do this on a grass field, in your hotel room, or really anywhere you can lay on a flat surface.
Reflecting on the Year of the Underbird
This past August, we launched our Year of the Underbird program: an open application for aspiring Olympic Trials marathoners, with a promise to select 5 women for a 6 month contract encompassing a stipend, gear, storytelling, and community support. As we reach the end of our flight with our selected athletes, we invited each of them to share a few reflections on their past 6 months as teammates.
Black History Month: Celebrating Our Athletes
We are honored to support five exceptional Black women athletes challenging norms in the running industry: athletes, advocates, and powerful voices in the sport. We invited each of them to reflect on their journeys through sport: how their identity has affected their development, and how they hope to impact the rising generation of athletes. Hear from Madie Boreman, Kendra Coleman, Brenna Detra, Carmen Pelar Graves, and Ari Hendrix-Roach.
