Contestant #10: Tamara Schroeder

Tamara Schroeder was diagnosed with postpartum anxiety when her daughter was three months old.  Wanting an alternative to medication and time just for her, she turned to running when her daughter hit six months.  She continued to run through her second pregnancy, and following the birth of her son this spring, she dove right back in, hoping to pick up where she left off.  The 31-year-old mom from Calgary, AB, has since realized that she’s in uncharted territory but says, “I’m figuring it out as I go, because not running just isn’t an option.”
