“I was a runner before having my first baby and have listened to running podcasts for several years. But as I labored through those first miles coming back after baby (and yes, it was a different kind but still a laboring effort), my normal podcasts just weren’t as motivating. When I found AMR, I found so many things: connection to other runners just like me, understanding and compassion about how to run with kids and the physical, mental and emotional struggles that accompany that, and hope that I could still do this sport that I love even though my world had drastically changed. There were moments out on a run that I had to walk for a minute because I was choked up with emotion from merely feeling like there were other runners out there who get me and my mother runner struggles. And listening to Sarah and Dimity and the BAMR community helped me see that even though I’m in the middle (let’s be honest, beginning) of the baby years, I can enjoy running now, and my running can continue to evolve as my family grows and grows up.”
