mysql has two pid files

I just finished re-building my (5.7) slave from a hot backup. When I issue

 systemctl start mysqld

it just “sat” there for over 20 minutes. It usually takes less than 10 seconds for the service to start. When I look at my server status, I see two mysql processes

mysql     1938     1  0 15:25 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld --daemonize --pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
mysql     1940     1 99 15:25 ?        00:11:48 /usr/sbin/mysqld --daemonize --pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
root      4024  3122  0 15:37 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto mysqld

I stopped and restarted my service and there are two different PIDs showing up again

 [root@bi-db002-prd ~]# systemctl status mysqld -l

I have never seen that. Is there something incorrect with my configuration?
