108 || FITNESS MAGAZINE || JULY 2015www.alishaperkins.com MLB Wife, Mother, Runner and WriterBy: Alisha PerkinsFor a long time I was just Glen%u2019s wife and my girls%u2019 mother and I was ok with it, honestly I was thriving in it. Looking back though I am not sure if it was thriving as much as it was just getting by but I like to think that I was killing it. I was a good wife and a great mother but something always felt like it was missing to me. I never felt whole just being those two things, I longed for something more but couldn%u2019t quite pinpoint what that was.I found it in the oddest of ways, and isn%u2019t that how the best things usually happen, when you are not expecting them at all? We were at spring training in Fort Myers, FL while Glen was getting ready for yet another baseball season. I, on the other hand was stuck in a foreign house with our girls (2 %u00bd and 4 at the time) with no friends, no help, no adult conversation, and as you can imagine I was losing my mind.
