Winner of NYC Marathon gave birth only a few months ago
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?

That's incredible, good for her. It also certainly takes the wind out of the sails of thousands of chubby housewives who use their babies as an excuse for being fat!
