I’ve got two weekly races on my schedule now! And as someone who didn’t race while pregnant last season after IMNZ in March, this actually means a lot - even though one race is a 5k against my husband and the other is virtual in my garage! I had so been looking forward to getting back into my triathlon grind, and awakening that part of myself again, so to even have a taste helps get through the #quarantine haze. And, it is easier to fit this schedule around a preschooler and a baby anyway I suppose! #trimom #raceday #protriathletes #virtualrace #gozwift #critcity #shelterinplacefamily5k #nuunlife #wattieinkracing #postpartumfitness #postpartumjourney https://www.instagram.com/p/CAbFxbMhS4P/?igshid=1s45kdpqvkpu0

Despite historically poor sportsmanship from @artiejohann our 7th Weekly #ShelterinPlaceFamily5k was a huge success (for me) as I retained the title by over 30 seconds. Thanks to our friends and family for playing along and placing bets! With those bets and our matches, we were able to donate $1467.00 to the Navajo Nation Covid-19 Relief Fund. Stay tuned for next weekends competition details! #sip #family5k #quarantinefitness #postpartumfitness #familyfun #funraising #rockthew #wattieinkracing #motherrunner #protriathlete #trimom #soreloser #nuunlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CAYEStzBo6X/?igshid=128492hz7ucd4

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

Every week is race week! This Saturday I’m trying to regain the #shelterinplacefamily5k title from @artiejohann. As fitting for a Mother’s Day weekend race, we’re taking bets for this weeks charity @everymomcounts. You can donate on our fundraising page (link in bio) and tell us who you’re betting on. OR, Venmo me to bet on me (@carly-johann) and Artie to bet on Artie (@RTjohann). Either way, we will match all bets as a donation and double match the bets on the loser, which will be Artie. Every Mother Counts works to make pregnancy and childbirth safe for every mother, everywhere. During this health crisis, they are responding as countless, heart-wrenching stories from women and healthcare providers around the world continue to pour in. They are doubling down on their commitment to support mothers and the individuals who care for them–no matter where they live. #everymothercounts #funraising #virtual5k #linkinbio #carlywillwin #betonmoms #artiewillprobablylose #mothersday #motherdayrace #protriathletes #motherrunner #trimom https://www.instagram.com/p/B_0hW_0hwfK/?igshid=irnejgy3ml03

Training is on for this Saturday’s second weekly #shelterinplacefamily5k. @artiejohann trained in secret at 6am and I snuck it in before lunch. A big part of run training is trying to get my ab muscles to learn to work again. I don’t love posting pics of my #mummytummy but everyone who’s had a baby knows what I mean! This edition of DRA is going to take longer to get back to “normal” than the first time around for sure, but we’ll get there. #dra #diastasisrecti #postpartum #postpartumbody #trimom #motherrunner #paincave #shelterinplace #stayhome #carlyvsartie #5k https://www.instagram.com/p/B-p2jkaBMqi/?igshid=650qcu4eru2c
