September Women’s Running Cover!!

Lindsey Hein — Tue, 19 Aug 2014 00:23:40 +0000

I finally got my hands on a copy of the September issue of Women’s Running Magazine!! I know the girl on the cover. I was so excited to see how everything turned out. Caitlyn Pilkington wrote a really nice article that I felt proud to read and I’m so thankful for the opportunity I had to talk with her and tell me story. I hope if nothing else it encourages someone who reads it to face their fears, whatever that may be.

Here is the cover of the magazine:

And I’ve heard a rumor that Glenn even makes an appearance in the magazine. Oh boy. You’ll have to get a copy to see for yourself!

I also had the opportunity to talk to Larra on Fox 59 this AM about the magazine coming up! Here is the CLIP!

I will be doing a meet and greet and signing at Barnes and Noble in Castleton on Tuesday, September 9th from 6pm-8pm. If you live in the area, come on out, so it’s not just me sitting by my lonesome…. I heard there will be snacks.

Thank you EVERYONE who supported me in rallying votes. Big thanks to a few who really stepped up and supported me and promoted the crap out of the contest to their friends, families and networks- Hollie, Ericka, Shelby, Sarah, Nicole, Larra, Meghan, Ashley, Erika Wells, All of my Aunts on my side & Glenn’s side of the family- EVERYONE in the Indianapolis community: Fox 59, 99.5, Indy Star, Carmel Road Racing Group, Indy Women’s Half Marathon, Team Film, Back on My Feet Indianapolis, BlueMile, John H. Boner Community Center, Busy Bee Headbands, ALL the ladies in my Training Program…. I know I’ve missed quite a few and I’m so sorry for that because I know a ton of you were tweeting and posting and sending along but THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who voted and promoted. I truly hope and believe someone who reads the article will face a fear they’ve been avoiding and do something about it after reading my story.

And of course thank you Women’s Running Magazine and Saucony for this opportunity!

THANKS EVERYONE!! XOXO.

Thanks so much to everyone who supported me in the Women’s Running Cover Contest.

A big thanks to Women’s Running Magazine and Saucony for an amazing experience this weekend.

I was certainly not in my total comfort zone having a gazillion pictures taken in front of a bunch of people, but it was fun. It was really neat to see what the behind the scenes of a real photo shoot is all about. It was so nice to meet and spend time with Jessie, Erin, Nikki and Caitlyn with Women’s Running Magazine. What a fun crew they have. We were able to go to lunch and dinner with them on Thursday and Friday and they were all amazing.

Some pictures from the weekend:

Lot’s of beautiful running at the Torrey Pines!

I let this guy hang around with me all weekend:

Sadly, the red shades won’t be appearing in any photos- but they are still the best EVER.

To top off the weekend- we got to spend time with our friends Melanie & Matt. A good friend is someone who understands the desire to get home straight from dinner, put pajamas on and woof some ice cream. Can’t wait to meet that baby in her belly! Almost there woman!

THANK YOU THANK YOU everyone who voted for me! I am excited to share my story in Women’s Running Magazine and encourage you all to do what you have to do to FIND YOUR STRONG.

How do you find your Strong?

Running is a gift.

It has given me strength, confidence, and more times than I can count calmed my anxious self.

It’s not something I have to do. It’s something I choose. There are times in races when it hurts and I want to throw it all away. I question the purpose. I question my sanity. Really what is the point, why do I feel like I need to push myself until it hurts to feel good? But I finish what I started and am quickly reminded why I chose to run.

I found this gift 15 years ago and it has given me so much peace in my life.

I am honored to be a top 9 finalist for the Women’s Running Magazine Cover Model Contest– a contest that asked you how you found your strong. What a cool contest they launched – where women can share their stories of overcoming and what a great platform to share my story.

I wrote about finding my strong HERE.

I remember the day below so clearly, it was one week before I had a major surgery- a surgery that I was pretty scared about. BUT, I ran through the fear and am so thankful for the outlet.

I would LOVE your support in voting for me today, tomorrow and Wednesday for the Women’s Running Cover Model Contest! The contest will over over this coming Wednesday- so let’s make these next two days count!

VOTE HERE!

AND TELL ME – How do you find your STRONG??
