Inspiration for running: Having two children has truly changed my perspective on everything – priorities, work-life balance, my relationship with my family and husband and, of course, running. All for the better! They are the main reason why I wake up in the morning, and I strive every day to be a good role model for them and to make them proud. Witnessing other hard-working mother-runners out there both humbles me and motivates me to put in the work. It’s a privilege being able to run safely and pain-free, and having the opportunity to share this joy with my family is wonderful.
