You've seen Summer Knowles on WESH 2 since 2015.

You've seen her family grow three girls in five years.

But now she's trying something new. And the reasons why might be a surprise.

"Especially for all the postpartum moms out there. Like, it's hard. We don't talk about it. We're ashamed of it," Summer said. "You know, anxiety, depression, emotional roller coasters, rage and everything in between."

Summer has learned to take things day-to-day.

"You find your community and people that support you, like you're at total you, and they help you become your total self again," she said.

After three babies in such a short time, she was in a full battle with postpartum depression. And her way to cope sent her back to a place that's very familiar.

"I was a track athlete in college. So I was always in shape. And I used to run all the time, it was nothing, I stayed in shape like nothing," Summer said. "And that's what really got me with this, is none of that stuff was working anymore after I had the babies nothing."

There's no hurdles or finish-line tape. Instead, she's heading to the fitness competition stage for the Women's Wellness and Figure Competition.

"I've got two-a-days right now," Summer said. "So, getting 30 minutes of fasted cardio in sometime in the morning before swim lessons with the girls and before work and then after work, getting 45 minutes of cardio."

For Summer, it's not about walking away with a trophy, it's about showing herself and her family she can do it.
