This week was pretty uneventful running-wise. I ran 4-5 miles most days, did my diastasis recti abdominal exercises and enjoyed the still good weather. BUT there was one exciting piece of news — I am excited to announce that I am going to be an ambassador for the 2023 Cleveland Marathon!
This means that I get to run the race for free, get a 15% discount and get to host a giveaway. Right now I have my eye set on the Challenge Series, running a 5K and half marathon, Saturday and Sunday of race weekend. But I still have some time to decide! If you’re interested in signing up for any of the events, you can use my discount code: MELCARNSAVE15

And now, onto my week! Here’s how it went:
Sunday: 4 miles before a brunch with B’s family. It was a BEAUTIFUL and warm day and I relished in the wonderful weather and run.
Monday: 5 miles and diastasis recti ab exercises
Tuesday: 4.14 miles and diastasis recti ab exercises. I was out early and able to see the blood moon/eclipse!
Wednesday: 4 miles and diastasis recti ab exercises. GM had woken up at 3 a.m. and refused to go back to sleep, so I was grateful to get in a run to at least refresh me and wake me up a little.
Thursday: 4.32 miles and diastsis recti ab exercises. After the lack of sleep Wednesday, I was tired and almost didn’t get out of bed in time. Somehow I made it out and had a good, quick-for-me easy run.
Friday: 5.05 miles running while the weather was still warm and then a longer diastasis recti workout. I ran between raindrops, but since it was still 60 degrees, I didn’t mind. I knew the weather was going to significantly drop in the next day:

Saturday: 3.59 miles before the cold and rain set in. I woke up before GM did and managed to get in a run while he and B were still in bed. Winning!
Total: 30.12 miles
Some questions for you:
- Are you already thinking about spring races? Cleveland is 187 days away 🙂
- Any travel coming up for Thanksgiving?
