Running & Training through pregnancy

"Within 1 calendar year I PR'd my deadlift, squat, and bench and earned my spot on the wall at the gym in the 500lb club! I also trained & crushed the hardest sporting event: pregnancy & delivery. I ran a 5K and 8K while pregnant. I am stronger because of the training with Bethann"
