Welcome to our new, biweekly Member Mondays post! We are an amazing community with 3,000+ members... it's about time we showcased YOU. 📢 First up is Rob Woodard. Rob started running in 2014 when his daughter wanted to do a color run and he's been running ever since. He joined us in 2018 and said the one thing he could not be without is his running friends. "They are truly the reason I continue to run at all. They are indispensable. I love them all." What's Rob's favorite Badgerland Strider race to run or volunteer for? "Oh, there's a few. Lakefront Marathon, because it was my first marathon, and at age 60 no less. Cudahy Classic was one of my first pre-Strider races, as was the Turkey Trot Prediction run. I love that one. Totally unplugged, no pressure, at your own pace, in crappy weather, and you'll likely come home with a turkey. Although, I'd rather be running, I enjoy volunteering as well. I like being a course sentry and cheering on the racers and encouraging the strugglers, just as others have encouraged me. But most of all, since acquiring an RRCA coaching certification, I enjoy filling in as a substitute coach on the occasional Tuesday night track workout. Striders got me off the couch and on my feet, and I am greatly appreciative of that. Giving back by volunteering is not only fun and rewarding, it's just the right thing to do. " What's his favorite post-un meal? "Give me a Golden Gyro's cheeseburger and fries and I'm a happy camper. " If you see Rob out running, say hi to your fellow Strider!

First race for our Golden Birthday girl!!! 🥹 She did such a great job and had so much fun even though mom peeled her out of bed at 6:30 am on a Saturday…😂 It was an action packed weekend with all things Margaret! Build a Bear, race day, Birthday party, and up for church on Sunday morning! I know I say this a lot but we are absolutely blessed with the best family and friends.

First race in over 6 months. Another Door County half marathon in the books. Fun and challenging course with rolling hills throughout. Racing with awesome friends made it even more fun. Triathlons the rest of the way. Next up: Wisconsin Milkman half iron triathlon! 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️

My girlie and I did a thing today!! Another half marathon in the books and it’s so much fun to be able to do it with one of my kids. I had a really good day and am hoping that bodes well for running Grandmas Marathon in just 7 short weeks. #runlikeagirl #iloverunning #marathontraining #wisconsinmarathon #wisconsinrunner #iddoitagain

Had a fantastic day out there running 13.1 miles on a course that brought me so much nostalgia. My fam bam got an A+ in spectating. They surprised me by showing up 3 times on the course with all the cheers and high fives even as the rain poured down that last mile. 1:56 finish and felt strong the entire way. 💥 So excited and grateful. #motherrunner #runningmom #wisconsinrunner #halfmarathon #lacrossehalfmarathon

Some days, getting out for the second run…well, it takes some work. This one started with, “why does Elkhart lake have to have so many damn hills?!” “This wouldn’t be so hard if I could just run on flat ground!” so MANY negative thoughts, and that’s not my usual mindset. I went anyway. 🏃‍♀️. Thats discipline. The negativity will never serve me and will not lead me to where I desire to be. “I get to run again today!” “I get to be challenged with all of these hills!” Negativity will not serve you. It’s there to try to keep you safe (and comfortable)…it doesn’t want you to grow. But you don’t grow in your comfort zone so start to rewrite your thoughts! Change your mindset, change your life💙 💙DeBruine Wellness💙 #wisconsinrunner #runwisconsin #wellness #wellnessrn #wellnesscoaching #weightlosscoaching #mindfulwellnessfitness #rn #rnrunner #countryroadrunning

Hi friends! So after a nice nearly 5 mile run on the weekend with my hubby, I've been dealing with knee twinges. I took Tuesday off, but it is lingering. Gonna attempt a little mostly walk with some jogging this morning to see how it feels with movement. @runmadtown is coming up soon and I don't want to miss it. If you are a Midwesterner, I highly recommend this race. It is so well organized and so much fun! You can use the code MICHELLE at checkout to let them know I sent you. 🥰 #pelotonrunners #wisconsinrunner #runwisconsin #running #motherrunner #runningcommunity #teamnuun #zensahambassador #humaambassador #humabeing

We decided to switch things up a bit with trying different types of strength training with a Boxing 🥊 Hit class ,and it is getting us all the way together @geefitonline Gearing up for our Half -Marathon down in Green Bay , WI on May 19th, 2024 . I actually never been to Green Bay , let alone to the famous stadium. The Cellcom Green Bay Half Marathon course is considered to be fast and flat, by race industry comparisons. Starting in the stadium district the half marathon course winds through historic neighborhoods before heading to Lambeau Field to go through the players tunnel and complete a lap around the field. The course then finishes near the start line in the Stadium District @cellcomgreenbaymarathon .

Last run of my training cycle before likely my last race in the 30-39 age group. It will likely be one of my slowest finishes as it’s my first race post-baby number 3 and my training cycle was low mileage and involved only running without speed work. Running this race was never about times or PRs though. It was about proving to myself that I could be a mother RUNNER again. I could find ways to make space and time for both. I could be both a mother AND a runner, do my best and have it be enough. It wasn’t perfect. I missed runs. I had rough runs, but I showed up. I built my endurance back up. Next run I will see you at the finish line. #run #motherrunner #wisconsinrunner #runningmom #springhalfmarathontraining

This crew absolutely started the month off on a high note! We saw folks crushing PRs with ease and vibrant energy. We appreciate you for continuing to show up week after week.

Couple stroller miles with miss Mary this morning! As you can tell by her face she was not impressed with the wind! 😂 She stayed awake the whole time and was pointing at everything!

My first trail race was *hard*. The hills were killer. But the scenery was beautiful. The experience was amazing. And I can’t wait for the next one. Anybody can be a runner. Any. Body.

A rainy Sunday calls for another Rumble highlight! ✨ Andy had a constant smile on his face the whole day. And night! His positive presence was felt by both participants and spectators. Here is what Andy has to say about Rumble: “What made me sign up for the Rumble? Honestly, I just wanted to find out how far I could go and how long I could last. Once I learned more about the course, I realized it wasn’t just how far I could go, but how many times I could go up and down before my quads exploded. But I couldn’t resist! What I didn’t expect was how much I’d enjoy heading out loop after loop. When you all start at the same time, you’re always with others. You share countless miles together, laugh together, encourage each other and inevitably suffer together. Besides discovering what I could do out there on course, I loved just being out there with others doing something crazy. If this is going to be your first Rumble, be ready for hills. There are only a few, but you’ll see them often…too often. And remember, this type of race isn’t about being fast, it’s about slowing down the least.” #rumbleontheridge #lastpersonstanding #driftlessendurance #trailrunning #ultrarunning #wisconsinrunner

A very windy half marathon in Oshkosh this morning! Definitely not the time I was shooting for, but the wind (and warmer than normal temps) did not work in my favor. Alas, I’m happy with how I finished and it was nice to get a chance to work through all the pre-race jitters and less than ideal weather. Always thankful to get the chance to race and enjoy a little competition! • • • • • • • • • #oshkoshhalfmarathon #halfmarathon #runnermom #motherrunner #runwisconsin #runlikeamother #runlikeagirl #runitfast #13point1 #wisconsinrunner #wisconsinrunning #optoutside #milestogo #runhappy #runstrong #runnersofinstagram #igrunners #race #running #runnerslife

Sometimes a run just sucks 🤷🏼‍♂️ slept like crap, tweaked my neck yesterday, very humid out and my breathing just wasn’t there. 5 miles instead of the planned 15, slower than I wanted. Nothing went right but I at least got out the door for something 🤘🏼

✨🪩 still in my runner girl era✨🪩 so it was only right to get the tread for when Wisconsin does me dirty and the weather is not in my favor ( hello Oct - March) now we can run anytime!! but we tested it out today and had a blast! #runnergirlera #pelotread #runnermother #wisconsinrunner

Life has been moving super fast these days. In between work, kid pickups, meetings, errands and spring training baseball practices for my ball player and his coach Dad, I'm squeezing in runs and transitioning into parent mode the moment I return home. For those miles on the run though, I can leave the chaos of the day behind for at least a few miles before I’m back to it. 💛 #run #motherrunner #runningmom #wisconsinrunner #halfmarathontraining

Another podium secured and under 20-minutes at Run to the Sun 5k for @kdp_runs Congratulations, Kathy! #Repost @kdp_runs ・・・ Happy #medalmonday! Had the chance to hop over to the Orange Park neighborhood on Saturday for the Run to the Sun 5k. The title was not deceptive — it felt like we were running directly into the sun. Ahhhh Florida. The deets: 19:51 2nd female Also got super close to two of the neighborhood guineafowls (see photo) Anyway, not much to report other than this race went so much better than the 5k I “raced” two weeks ago. (Like 40 seconds better. I hate evening races.) All 3.1 miles felt smooth, probably due to me not sprinting off the gun like I normally do. I just kept it easy, tried not to pass anyone in the first mile, and concentrated on keeping my effort level just below the red line of the pain cave. After running three JAX races since we’ve moved here, I can confidently say that the running scene here is super well-organized and much larger and more involved than expected. Plus, most of the races use an app that automatically send results AND free photos seconds after you finish. As someone who doesn’t have a personal photographer that follows me around while I run (*side eyes most runfluencers*) I appreciate this extra touch. Anyway, enjoy a double dose of photos from my last two races. Next up: the Famous Idaho Potato 10k on May 18.

(Not kidding.) #mastersrunning #mastersrunner #fasterasamaster #5k #10ktraining #fastafter40 #runflorida #floridarunner #wisconsinrunner #sundogrunning #jacksonvillerunning #runjacksonville

11 miles It was nice out today, although the wind was a bit much at times. This is my last long run before the half. I won't die, but it's not going to be easy. #bethebestversionofyou #thisismy45 #keepittight #procompressionambassador #strongnotskinny #notbuiltliketherest #wisconsinrunner #dresstobeseen

What a perfect morning for a run on a beautiful trail! It was cold when I started-28F-but it warmed up in a hurry-48F-when I finished. There is nothing better than a solo run on the trails. It gives me the opportunity to focus on my feet and my surroundings, running at my pace. I stopped to take a lot of photos and soak up all the nature around me. I hated to stop! How are you moving this morning? 8.5 miles/1430 ft #trailrunning #trailrunner #iceagetrail #wisconsinoutdoors #wisconsintrails #wisconsinrunner #fitover60 #rawarrior #rheumatoidarthritis #curearthritis #optoutside #naturelover #brooksrunning #brooksrunningcollective #runhappy

Trying to have a chill Saturday morning run but when the 20 mph wind gusts almost make you roll to a complete stop it ends up being not so ‘chill’ lol. I’m glad we got out and got this done this morning though! Currently everyone in the house is napping except me. I guess I’ll just have another cup of coffee and power though until it’s time to go to church…😅 #running #runnerscommunity #runnersofinstagram #runnersworld #garmin #runningcommunity #runninggirl #runners #runnerslife #runhappy #runningblogger #runaddict #runalways #nikerunning #fenix6s #wisconsinrunner #wisconsinrunning #runalways #bobgear #alwaysrunnirng #beatyesterday #zensah #zensahrunning #withoutlimitz #zensahambassador #workingmom #runningmom #runningcomeback #girlmom #5miles #strollermiles

Windy is the word for the day. 💨 I hit up 12 miles on the trails today, and @mattcdennis biked again to hang with me. I am tellin’ ya, it certainly makes the miles tick by having him to chat with. I am grateful for this time together. 🏃‍♀️ 🚴 ♥️ #marathontraining #wisconsinrunner #longrunday

Raced my first 10k at the @brewcity10k in downtown Milwaukee. 42:12 was the official chip time, running a 6:48 average minute per mile. It was so much fun! Hurt like hell but I had a lovely time :) 10/10 recommend #milwaukee #running #brewcity #fightforward #wisconsinrunner

Happy Friday! We had a little bit of a different week with one our babysitters being on vacation so I had a couple days off! Margaret was my buddy for stroller miles during my lunches! On Wednesday we walked around in between the rain and went to look at the pretty flowers at @robinsonflorist! This morning I wanted to cry a little running straight into the 20mph wind…but once I turned the corner it wasn’t so bad! 😂 I was not expecting the wind to be that bad!

Tempo Run—27 min Ah, the app showed rain, so I dressed appropriately. Yeah, not even a sprinkle. The ☀️showed itself! That was nice😄I brought out my💛hat 🫶🏻to brighten up the run, as I thought it’d be dreary. The tempo run went great: mile one 11:18 mile two 10:56 half mile 10:41 A field trip to the woods tomorrow and Spring clean-up over the weekend. It’ll be a busy couple of days. ☝️🏻I will run. 🔩My prize for the run😂hanging out on the street. #aer2024 #aerteamblue #teamroadid #hatlover #midwestrunner #teamzensah #wisconsinrunner #withoutlimitz #runrunrun #temporun #thursdayvibes #yellowhat

First run back in over a week and while it wasn’t long or fast, it felt good to be out! A few weeks after I turned 38 in February, I developed a varicose vein on one of my legs. Not painful but unsightly. I went to get it evaluated and it turns out I have chronic venous insufficiency in both my legs, from my groin to my ankles, affecting the major veins in my legs. My body has already begun to compensate by creating collateral veins, but your body wants to use the diseased veins regardless which causes the varicose veins. They can eventually cause pain and issues with walking. Women are more prone to them than men, and pregnancy increases the risk (and having a twin pregnancy more so). So I made the decision to have them treated. Starting last week, I’ll undergo weekly treatments to basically kill the diseased vessels so my body stops using them. I had my second treatment today. I cannot run for 7 days after each treatment which sucks. So I’ve been wallowing. Wallowing about this. Also having wallowing and feelings after seeing the Boston Marathon. Questioning my ability and worth as a runner. Knowing I’ll never qualify and contemplating charity running. But just sort of deep in a puddle of wallowing right now. Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Spending my race week relaxing at the beach and I'm feeling strong (ok, and slightly sunburned)!! Can't wait to toe the line this Saturday at @madcityultras for the USATF 100k National Championships. I'll be running 10x the arb loop, starting at 6:30 am and if you'd wanna come out to cheer me on, I'd forever grateful!

Easy Breezy 🌬️46 mph Scheduled—Tempo Run Completed—Easy Run Yeah, with a thunderstorm rolling in and a wind advisory, I went for a shorter run. Trees were going down on the trail, so I headed back to the streets. It started to rain on my way home. We shall see how the morning looks! How much of a mess there’ll be to clean up? #aer2024 #aerteamblue #easyrun #teamroadid #midwestrunner #wisconsinrunner #windyrun

We may not get the incredible weather we enjoyed this weekend but that’s okay because we’ll be moving with you. Nothing makes us more excited. So come join us at the top of Bascom Hill for some free movement. The bounce crew gets going at 6:28am. If you’re an early bird the early crew will be off to the races starting at 5:45am. ☀️ REMINDERS ☀️ 🌸 BUFFS ARE HERE! Come to the workouts to pick up your buffs. Buffs are $5 each.

Wow it’s been a whirlwind of a weekend! So many activities! 😝 Friday we brought Margaret to the Shedd Aquarium! She loved the dolphins! 🐬 Saturday morning bright and early Emily and I busted out our April 15k! Anything for the @garmin badge! 😉 Saturday night we said goodbye to a local bar that is being torn down. ☹️ Goodbye Pine St! So many memories that I can’t remember. Lol! The girls had a sleepover at grandma and grandpa’s house! Sunday we had a pretty chill day. Mary and I went to church and she was smiling so hard at the people behind us. They loved her! Monday I had the day off so I got some morning miles in and saw some deer on my route! The girls and I walked to the park and played on the swings and the slides! If you’re still here I’m done with my recap now.

So lucky to have friends to run with last minute on the weekends!

I haven’t ran for a month as I’ve been nursing a bit of a tweak in my back, and was surprised this run went so well. Keeping up with walks and strength training while adding in cycling has made all the difference. Went out with no pace or time feedback, just a vibration to my #garmin at each mile mark and tunes in my ears. Ran the entire thing by feel with very comfortable #negativesplits This restart began at the beginning of Dec with the @ribmtnadventure 3hr race in less than six weeks. This is the fourth year @ericlang717 and I will be running this race. Last year we missed the overall podium by 12 minutes and will be shooting to get there this year. #garmin #garminfitness #garminrunning #thejourneycontinues #myfitnessjourney #myrunningjourney #fitnessjourney #newadventures #runningjourney #running #runner #runnersofinstagram #instarunners #igrunners #runningcommunity #runnerscommunity #wisconsinrunner #myzen #zen #mytherapy #therapy #justrun #finishstrong #negativesplits

Ended my Monday miles with a stroll through the local botanical gardens. Even though not much is in bloom yet, it was still lovely to walk around and see hints of all the gorgeous plants & flowers that will come up soon.

9 miles of🖕at life today. This week was insanity and ended with me finally catching what most of the house had. I struggled for the first five miles, blowing my nose, coughing, lungs just not wanting to do what the legs wanted. I wasn’t sure I’d make it six miles, but I reminded myself to run the mile I’m in. As each half mile ticked by, I didn’t think about how many more I’d planned to go. I just kept going. I was going to do this. I caught an uplift from miles 6-8 and then slogged the last mile in. I’m proud of not quitting and staying present on my run. Upon arriving home, I had the best refreshment from a lemonade stand ran by my kids and the neighbors. 🩷 🍋 We can’t know how mile 8 will feel when we are at mile 4 on the run or in life, so maybe we shouldn’t try so hard to figure it out. Stick to the plan as much as you can, and run the mile you are in. 🏃🏼‍♀️ ✔️ #run #motherrunnner #runningmom #halfmarathontraining #wisconsinrunner
