As I've mentioned before in the podcast, I'm a coach with Girls on the Run in Minnesota.

One of the most remarkable parts about coaching is seeing a girl's face light up as she crosses the finish line at the celebratory Girls on the Run 5K.

I love this moment because it's then that she realizes that the seemingly impossible is possible.

It makes me think about something that I want to

accomplish this year, like maybe run a sub-120-half or break that 250 mark in the marathon.

This too is your year to get after it. Today I'm thrilled to introduce you to the Soulmates

program benefiting girls on the run. By committing to go the distance as a

soulmate, you can train with a purpose while raising funds to support girls in your local community.

Whether it's counting miles on the trail, laps in a pool, reps in the wait room, or downward dogs in the studio,

all soulmates share in a common desire to be champions for girls in the place

they call home. Simply go to Girls on the Run.org to learn more and to register.

Hi, I'm Olympian Carrie Tolifson. And today on C. Tali Run, I go for a run with Maggie Fosley-Faird.

Maggie is a senior fitness editor and columnist at Experienced Life magazine.

She's a strength coach at Lifetime Fitness, and she's a longtime supporter like I am of Girls on the Run.

In the past seven years, she's been a coach,

a running buddy, a board member, and a soulmate at Girls on the Run. And in this episode,

we talk about how Maggie got started running, how she's a weightlifter now, becoming the senior

fitness editor for experienced life, and of course, being a soulmate for girls on the run.

As a soulmate, Maggie raised funds both the traditional way and the untraditional way.

She ran a race, and she competed in a powerlifting meet, all to help girls on the run.

I had so much fun getting to know Maggie, and I know you will too.

So let's get after it.
