How Fertility Struggles Parallel Running
Being a runner unknowingly prepared Susie for IVF.
Running and IVF are similar in that you can do everything right and still not get the result you want.
Another parallel between the two is to “run your own race.”
Comparison, whether in running or in life, is not healthy and won’t change things.
