How a Mom of 7 Qualified for the Boston Marathon
Description
Angela Awald didn't start running until her thirties — already a mom of six. After a miscarriage, postpartum depression, and seasonal depression, she turned to running to trust her body again. She pushed a double jogging stroller through her early miles, worked through an IT band injury, and still ran a 3:45:21 at the Philadelphia Marathon to qualify for Boston. Then she ran 3:39 at Buffalo. Then 3:37 at Wineglass. Now she's heading to her first Boston Marathon as a mom of seven.
In this episode, Angela talks about balancing marathon training with a big family, hiring a coach for the first time, and why investing in yourself is one of the best lessons you can pass on to your kids.
