The New York Marathon was held this past weekend and British runner Paula Radcliffe took the top spot in the race, completing the 26.2-mile race in two hours, 23 minutes and nine seconds. But the amazing aspect of this story, I think, is that Radcliffe gave birth to her daughter Isla a mere 10 months ago. And the 27-hour labor even lead to a stress fracture in her sacrum. Wow. That is one fit mama.

Of her win so soon after giving birth, Radcliffe says, Generally, the happier I am, the better I run. Certainly I'm a lot happier with Isla in our lives. I think your body is just a little bit stronger after pregnancy."

Good for her for not letting pregnancy get in the way of her fitness goals. What do you think?
