#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.

MARY MOMPER @mmomps

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.
