FEEL THE POWER

- Polly Tandy, via email

Thanks very much for including the article about Sophie Power this month ( Enduring Love, December 2018). When I saw the images of her feeding her baby during the Ultra-trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB) back in September, I found it so inspiring. It spoke volumes about what mothers can and will do for their children while still being true to themselves. After my twins were born, I went back to running after about 12 weeks. As I stood on the start line of the Inverness Half in March this year, I thought to myself, ‘How many other mothers with eight-and-a-half-month-old twins are running here?’. Like Sophie, my twins are breastfed and they are thriving. They are learning that Mummy runs just as Daddy does, and when they are older they can do it too. Thanks for showcasing real-life inspiratio­nal women. It is so motivating!
