A little post-orange glow going on for us at our AMR planning meeting. (L to R: Denise, Sarah, Jonna, Dimity.)

A little post-orange glow going on for us at our AMR planning meeting. The good news is that sea-level Sarah survived her first Orange Theory class in the Mile High City. (L to R: Denise, Sarah, Jonna, Dimity.)

 

This past Sunday afternoon, the core of our AMR team convened in Denver to sweat, laugh, drink margs, regroup, chat, and plan 2016. (Not necessarily in that order, and yes, I will write a review of Orange Theory sooner than later.)

We’ll share more details about 2016 with you as they solidify, but one thing we spent some time with is on our mission statement and AMR values. Our mission statement is still in its editing phase; holy cow, those things are hard to write concisely. (That said, we know it begins with Another Mother Runner believes every female finds strength, confidence, and clarity through forward movement.)

We had an easier time naming ten core values that already rule the AMR community—and we will continue to spread in our everyday interactions with you. (The hard part here was whittling it down from 40ish to ten.)

Believe deeply in every mother runner.
Push each other across the finish line.
Momentum comes from teamwork.
Be generous.
Don’t take yourself too seriously.
Value rest.
Celebrate milestones—and regular old miles.
Run your own race.
Keep your eyes up the road.
Play nice.

Would you add or change any values?

And while we’re still in the planning stages, any suggestions you want to make for what you’d like to see AMR do in 2016?

Finally, anybody want to finish our mission statement? (Kidding. Kind of.)
