#WheelsUp17 - Your Run And Reject Goals!
Brand
Hello 2017! We've loved hearing your #WheelsUp17 run and reject goals. Enjoy this sampling, and keep your posts coming!
ERIN W. @thelittlerunnergirl
RUN: Run a sub 3:20 at the Boston Marathon, embrace all the hard work and push through when it gets tough.
REJECT: Negativity from myself and from others.
KALIN MCCLUSKEY @mcclskyk
RUN: A quest to regain my health over 17 races.
REJECT: Comparisons - to both my past and others.
LAURIE WISOTSKY @wisotsky_laurie
RUN: Run with integrity.
REJECT: The voices that say you're not good enough or don't deserve this.
MEGHAN @marathonsandmedicine
RUN: Prioritize those things that add value and happiness to my life, most especially my faith, amazing family and best friends, and running. Try to be equally enthusiastic about the medical school process. Know, with confidence, that my value as a person does not come from past achievements, grades, and fast times, but rather my identity as a beloved daughter of Christ.
REJECT: Any ounce of self-doubt and false thoughts of inadequacy.
WENDY HETHERINGTON @WendyBH2013
RUN: I will learn to love my body with all my heart.
REJECT: The bathscale to stop letting a number define me.
LAUREN STEINHEIMER @irunintotrees79
RUN: Honor my body's need for recovery.
REJECT: The little voice in my head telling me I'm not good enough.
RUN: Get healthy and stay healthy.
REJECT: Dwelling on the negatives and the bad days; attitude and perspective are everything.
RACHAEL A. @rachaelontherun
RUN: Explore new places and connect with friends (new and old) through running while supporting others to achieve their goals.
REJECT: Excuses and being afraid of things that push me outside my comfort zone.
SARAH OVERPECK @smoverpeck
RUN + REJECT: I will start approaching workouts not as pass/fail tests but as opportunities to learn and get stronger.

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.
