Okay, let me start at the beginning. When we first started training our Coach Christine was pregnant. If you were running behind her, like I was, it would have been impossible to tell that she was expecting. Not only was she whipping past most of the runners, but with the exception of her stomach, she was fitter and more toned that most people in the park. A few weeks ago she was leading our cool down. She had us squatting on one leg with one knee crossed over the other. I was kind of holding my breath as she displayed incredible balance. Then someone innocently asked when she was due. She casually replied, one week.
At that point I practically feel over, and the team let out a collective gasp. This woman was running with a week to go! And she was running FAST!
Fast forward three weeks, she has a beautiful baby and is back at practice. For the record, she looks like she was never pregnant.
As if that was inspiring and humbling enough, she assures us that child birth is way harder than running a marathon. Time to suck it up!
