Marathoning mama victorious!

Paula Radcliffe wins NYC!! I ran 5:34 with a 10 month old, she ran 2:23. But I'm guessing that she wasn't exclusively nursing, and that running is her only job. And that she's incredibly genetically gifted as well. But, jealousy aside, go Paula! I have to wonder if the recent rash of successful post-partum athletes has any thing to do with the Title IX provisions that came into effect when I was a child. We're the first generations of moms who ever really had viable athletic aspirations. And we're finding out that childbirth and child rearing doesn't end those aspirations.
