In Winter 2019-20, I was privileged enough to run the Boston Buildup series with an incredibly talented group of runners. After a successful first postpartum race , I wanted to continue the momentum and brave the elements. Starting with a 10k in Rowayton, the Boston Buildup Series works its way up by 5k each race, with the grand finale being a 25k in hilly Silvermine. I ended up winning the series for my age group and placing 32nd overall out of 364 speedy ladies and gents. Sweaty and happy post-race in my backyard with my baby. One race after the other, I'd surprise myself with my strength. I'd think, this PR is so nice to achieve--relish the moment, be grateful, and don't expect it again . (By the way, I still think that way.) Yet somehow, the PR's kept coming. I believe that I became stronger after giving birth. A useful mantra for me was--if I can go through back labor without any drugs, I can push through to the finish of this race! No comparison. No questio...
