The Mom-Athlete (IM)Balance

Today we are talking about motherhood, more specifically, how to balance training, racing, and being moms to our amazing children.  We do recognize that each phase of parenthood: newborn, toddler, grade school, teenage years, college, and beyond all have different challenges  We actually recorded this episode waaaay back in October after Chelsea Sodaro won Kona, only 18 months after having her first child.  And moms everywhere gave her an imaginary fist bump, because we knew how hard it was for her to balance training and momming.  But the reason this episode took so long to put together is because we wanted to hear from moms on our team and how they manage to sneak in workouts and make time for work and family.  So mixed in you will hear different voices of our teammates giving their perspective on what it means to be a parent and an athlete. This episode is dedicated to all of the parents out there who are trying to give 100 percent to family, work, training, and life in general, knowing you can't be 100% in all areas, but darn it, we are going to try. Have a listen!
