Thanksgiving Run
In this photo, Nadya is seen with 10 of her 14 kids after the Turkey Trot five-kilometer family run that took place on Thanksgiving.
Maliyah, Josiah, Noah, and Isaiah were all winners for their age group of the race – and Nadya is extremely proud!
They all got pumpkin pies as prizes – which is a good thing, because making pies for 14 children is a chore!
Dealing With Her Injuries
Nadya is very physically active, but she also suffers from a wide array of physical issues – some the result of her many pregnancies, others, like her spinal injuries, just the result of life coming at her.
She suffers from four ruptured discs in her lumbar spine, irreparable sacral damage, bilateral sciatica, as well as the peripheral neuropathy, which prohibits her from running – but she does climb 10 miles each day on the stair master, instead.
