My wife's experience included going back to swimming after giving birth. She used to swim 3,000 to 5,000 yard 4-5 day a week. She found that much more difficult when nursing. The citation on damage from marathoning was an article I saw last summer. I'm afraid that I probably can't retrieve i

My wife nursed our son for 2 1/2 years. She found that it took a fair amount of energy. She was also active in the local LLL activities and I strongly support breast feeding. Also there is substantial difference between vigorous exercise, which can enhance the body's functions, and competing

But she did do this race at 1:00/mile slower than her normal pace, finishing almost 12 minutes back from where she did the year before. She also has become an "expert" at this, being her fourth time. I'm sure she could write a book on this process. Hopefully it would be more well received tha

Well, I think it may depend on the woman and the event. Seriously, Debbie Grant Marshall resumed rigorous training fairly immediately after the birth of her second child . Likewise, so did Merideth Valmon and Sonia O'Sullivan. In a message dated 11/6/2002 11:20:13 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
