Working On My (Postpartum) Fitness: September


That shooting pain in my rear and inability to sleep on my stomach postpartum? Diagnosis, Piriformis (and severely weak core from carrying a baby for 39 weeks). In addition to that, my training just wasn't where I hoped it be this far along in the training cycle, so I bumped down from the international half to the 5k. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't bummed, but its for the best for me right now. Plus, playing with Owen is way more fun :)
