"I should have been given the opportunity to complete that kind of dream race when I was fit and healthy, not three months postpartum, trying to go 106 miles around a huge mountain by breastfeeding my baby. It was crazy."Power wanted to ensure returning mums did not face the same choice and put their bodies through the same risk as she had done.
She founded the charity SheRaces with the core aim of breaking down barriers preventing women from entering events alongside men and safeguarding returning mothers.After the photo went viral, many male directors contacted her almost immediately to say they had added pregnancy deferrals to their programmes and expressed embarrassment that it was something they had not thought of before.She engaged with more than 2,000 women to find out what prevented them from getting on the start line of races alongside men.
Her research went far beyond elite level sport. Power is not a professional athlete herself and her real passion is for other women and girls who had been like her."Girls drop out of sport at such a high rate. There's a massive dream deficit for girls compared to boys," she said.
Power believes a big reason for this is the language used when promoting sports and sporting events.
"It's 'hardest, toughest, baddest', and for a lot of women that's quite off-putting," she said.Others in his party weren't so emphatic. "As it stands right now, I do not support the bill," said Congressman Mike Lawler of New York.
The president has emphasised that the bill gets rid of the "waste fraud and abuse" included in the budget, but not all Republican members agreed on what that means.Much of the division in the party centres on changes to state and local tax deductions - known as Salt. The bill proposes to triple the allowable deduction from from $10,000 to $30,000 for couples.
That's irked Republicans in states with higher taxes, such as New York, California and New Jersey, who are pushing for a higher cap. Lawmakers in those states argue a higher cap will give relief for middle-class Americans in high-taxed jurisdictions.Mike Lawler appeared frustrated, saying he wouldn't back the measure in the upcoming full house vote.
