" Babies: Yep, they sometimes mess with your body and fitness goals (ask me how I felt about exercise after the birth trauma of my first baby--it was months before I could get back on the elliptical!). But, now one woman has proven--twice!--that becoming a mom doesn&amp;#x27;t have to derail your get-fit goals ...**** In a major wow moment, British marathoner Paula Radcliffe (who also has a daughter who will be 2 in January) won the New York City Marathon for the third time on Sunday. Her finish time: 2:23:56--two minutes faster than the second-place winner! (Guess there is some benefit to chasing after a toddler!) Because I know how hard it is to reclaim your body after having a baby, and how hard it is to juggle the baby/toddler while doing anything (like getting fit), I so admire Paula&amp;#x27;s achievements! It&amp;#x27;s s reminder to not let anything (work, screaming babes, whatever) get in the way of our fitness goals, don&amp;#x27;t you think? Moms and non-moms, what roadblocks are standing in the way of you getting fit/reaching your fitness goals (whether it&amp;#x27;s a 5K race or a full-fledged marathon), and how have you been able to overcome those challenges?
