· I was running in the Peroni Crawling Crab half marathon yesterday and I saw this pregnant lady running at about mile 8. Her t-shirt said that her baby was due in January. Her belly was showing a lot but she seemed comfortable running at a 10 minute pace. I said to her that it was inspiring to see her running and that she should get 2 medals. Also said that another friend of mine kept running until about 2 weeks before giving birth and then got back into it quickly after giving birth with no issues.
She responded that her mom ran the day she gave birth to her. I was like: does your mom run every day? … and she said she used to. I am like.. cool I am coming to up a year of running every day… do you? And she yes for long time…
I never asked her name or if that was her first child, but I assume she might be on the USRSA active list… The moral of the story: It is much more harder for women to keep a streak alive when one has to consider giving birth. What an inspiration!!
