Now that the kiddo is 6 weeks, I’m cleared for exercise. But, I know I can’t just jump right into training and have any hopes of being successful. Now’s the time to lay a strong foundation, starting with my own foundation. I’m thankful to have @bebephysicaltherapy nearby, specialists in pelvic floor rehab and postnatal strengthening. We’re starting from scratch, taping my DRA (Diastasis recti abdominus, separated ab muscles) and doing breathing and bracing exercises to coordinate lower abs, pelvic floor and breath. Starting this slowly can be frustrating, but I’m focused on long term health, not short term gainz! I gotta believe it’ll be worth it. #postnatal #postpartum #diastasisrecti #pelvicfloorphysicaltherapy #professionaltriathlete #trimom #momswhotri #womenfortri #comeback #gainz #mummytummy (at Bebé PT) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9IF09zhSDG/?igshid=1nj9pbl4yosk4

Coach baby and coach Lady Pounce have been helping me plan my comeback for our 4th Weekly #shelterinplacefamily5k this Saturday. If you missed the coverage in my stories, after two losses to me, @artiejohann came back strong and beat me by 20 seconds. And he’s even more of a #sorewinner than he is #soreloser. AND, he’s training hard as evidenced by the video (sound up for music choices). So, here we are, morning strategy sessions. Coach baby has even promised to try and stop waking me up as much overnight, so you know it’s serious. #quarantinelife #quarantinechallenge #stayhome #momvdad #theflash #trainhard #racehard #daydrink #trimom #momsohard #motherrunner #momswhotri #protriathlete #prowriter #teammom https://www.instagram.com/p/B_QhcoUBYLI/?igshid=v66exgfpql0p

Today I’m thankful for our garage gym. It’s a huge part of keeping us all sane, and allowing me to keep slowly building back a little fitness. Made it 4 miles this morning, while Gloria did more Frozen yoga, Artie did weights, and AC took a tiny nap. #10weekspostpartum #postpartumfitness #comeback #garagegym #familyfitness #shelterinplace #stayhome #workfromhome #protriathletes #momswhotri #trimom #womenfortri https://www.instagram.com/p/B-SntHWhOOY/?igshid=zjo8deem16r3

We didn’t have to leave the house for a good workout today. First @gozwift ride and first postpartum ride for mom, some trx and @cosmickidsyoga for GloJo, some weights for Dad the photographer, and a little nap for baby AC (in the far corner!). Here’s hoping I’ll get some watts back sometime soon. See you on the #zwift roads! #familyworkout #trimom #momswhotri #womenfortri #protriathletes #postpartumfitness #garagegym https://www.instagram.com/p/B9uqv2Jhxbb/?igshid=1k8m2y8b0a638

We just recently moved back into our house after 8 months of apartments during a renovation. I finally cleared enough space in the garage for a trainer and bike! Soon, this whole room will be my office. Just gotta clear out boxes, old doors, a bathroom vanity, etc. #paincave #myoffice #trainertime #rockthew #timetrialtuesday #momswhotri https://www.instagram.com/p/BxdcTCFhb-8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12rcxuj8oj53b

Saturdays @tower_26 early morning swim had a new assistant coach. She was a real stickler for mechanics and kept yelling at me to “Swim faster, Mommy!” #tower26 #kidcoach #wattieink #rockthew #trimom #momswhotri #glorybell #glojo #wintersucksinla https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt_ukl-h0-q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xxqe2l0sqa29

With the final race of the year looming this weekend at #im703loscabos I’ve been reflecting on the journey a lot. One goal for the year was to be careful with my nutrition, training and use of a breast pump to be able to continue breastfeeding throughout G’s first year. And we made it! She’s down to two nursing sessions a day, so I’m way less attached to my pump and that’s made it easier the last month or so. #trimom #breastfeeding #raceweek #momswhotri #oneyearlater

The best thing about having a big local race each year is the family and friends cheering and racing. Saw so many people cruising through the course and cheering from the sidelines it made the (hard!) effort seem effortless. #community #raceweekend @nauticamalibutri #momswhotri #fuelyourjourney #instachamp #hadafastday #glojo (at Zuma Beach)
