Does she still live in the mountains in a cabin with no television or cell service? I remember her doing that a few years back to have access to trails to run on and she said she was an avid backpacker and outdoors person and wouldn't need to get in her car and drive anywhere to hike.
Good question. I think I remember watching a video where she said they had to fetch their water, but that may have been temporary.
In about 18 years, there is going to be a great class of runners.
Congratulations to Emma Bates
Having a baby during the prime of one’s career, waiting until retirement or never having one at all, are all acceptable decisions. I would never lose two years from my prime like Purrier St. Pierre did, but it made sense to her.
I don’t know why people are gushing over Bate’s decision to have one now.

This is good timing for the Olympics. They're making this public pretty late if baby is expected this summer. This gives her a year to chill with the baby, then she can have half a year of good training before the marathon trials, hopefully with a boost of testosterone from having the baby. Congratulations! Those baby Asics are so cute.
