Cynthia Arnold showed ultimate mom power when the 34-year-old from Polson, Montana, crushed the women바카라 게임 웹사이트s half-marathon race in the .
In the July 15 race, Arnold not only finished 14th for women overall and third in her age group, but she also beat the current world record for the fastest half-marathon by a woman pushing a three-child stroller. That was set earlier this year at 1:47:32, but Arnold raised the bar with 1:29:08. That바카라 게임 웹사이트s almost 20 minutes faster than the previous record.
Arnold competed in track and cross country in high school and college, so she바카라 게임 웹사이트s no novice to running. The idea of beating the world record came from Arnold바카라 게임 웹사이트s husband when they were preparing for their third child.
바카라 게임 웹사이트He said, 바카라 게임 웹사이트You should try to go for this triple world record in the half marathon. That would be really cool,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Arnold said to . 바카라 게임 웹사이트바카라 게임 웹사이트That would be really neat for the kids.바카라 게임 웹사이트바카라 게임 웹사이트
Running was already a huge part of their lifestyle: Arnold바카라 게임 웹사이트s husband runs to work, and Cynthia runs her children to school in the stroller. For her, the goal of running with the kids wasn바카라 게임 웹사이트t merely to beat a record but to introduce them to a healthy and active way of living at a young age.
바카라 게임 웹사이트That type of lifestyle shouldn바카라 게임 웹사이트t be sacrificed if you have kids, and kids should realize that it바카라 게임 웹사이트s fun and normal and good to make these types of choices,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Arnold said.
Arnold explained that in the years leading up to having children, she was stricter about her runs: Her socks had to match, she had to wear the right headband or hat and she had to meet her pace goals. But once she started running with her little ones, all those smaller issues flew out the window. Her new goal was just making sure all the kids were safe in the stroller and out the door without crying 바카라 게임 웹사이트 and, hopefully she was wearing socks, whether they matched or not.
Plus, Arnold and her family live in the beautiful town of Polson, about 70 miles north of Missoula. She wants her kids to fully experience their surroundings rather than being cooped up inside the house.
바카라 게임 웹사이트I think if I can instill the love of being outside and nature in them, and they count butterflies and see the dragonflies and a gazillion grasshoppers hopping around, that바카라 게임 웹사이트s so much better in the long run than watching cartoons all Saturday morning,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Arnold said.
That environment may have also helped her in her recording-breaking half-marathon, too. Polson is windy and hilly, which caused Arnold to run slower with the stroller in her training. Those tougher conditions actually helped prepare her for the race, since the course was flatter and less windy.
When she knew she broke the world record, Arnold said she was, to her surprise, very emotional. She realized the time frame of all her three kids (ages 6, 3 and 11 months old) being in a stroller all at the same time was short, and she just wanted to soak in the moment.
바카라 게임 웹사이트It was more of a parent moment than a running moment,바카라 게임 웹사이트 she said.
As for how her kids felt while mom was speeding along the course at a 6:48 per mile pace? The kids were licking their lollipops, just enjoying the ride.
