Kristin Burke is one super mom who can juggle motherhood and a sporting career into a balance. 

She has been an athlete her whole life playing soccer and softball growing up but Kristin maintains that she is now “a mom first, then being an athlete second.”

“Being a mom and an athlete intertwine with each other. When I train, I feel good; my endorphins are good then I can take care of my family the best way I know how,” Kristin voluntarily discloses.

It’s safe to quickly call Kristin super especially when she immediately qualified for the Boston Marathon after her very first race at the 24th annual Surf City Marathon event last February.

Thanks to her 85-year-old grandfather, a former sportsman who pushed her to do the marathon and watched her race to show support.

“He’s the person I look up to. I know I can do it because of him.”

What makes Kristin more super, however, is her ability to make a promising redirection. “What’s bouncing around inside my head right now is Olympic trial qualifications. It’s going to take a lot of training and speed workout but I know I can do it,” she enthuses.

Amidst all that, Kristin chooses to look up to other female athletes who she calls the “big dogs” teaching “little ones” like her.

“I admire women who put both their failures and triumphs out there to push and inspire others to reach for their goals and higher.”

Ultimately, Kristin courageously attributes her success to God notwithstanding the opinions of non-believers.

“Not everybody is religious but I always believe there’s somebody above me whom I can look up for guidance and strength.”

Now, isn’t that super?
