Wake up (again) to feed the baby, drive to the race, get a 42 sec/mile PR despite having to lug my 154 pound/6.5 week post baby self around for 3 miles... NBD....I got this! 

Today's 5K went a lot smoother than 1.5 weeks ago. I remembered to start out slower and get into a good oxygen consumption zone, which made it easier to sustain a faster pace through the whole race.  I had a fun time! :)  HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!
