The Jogging Stroller

My husband and I made a last minute decision to make the 3 hour drive into Cleveland to spend the 4th of July holiday with our family. Thankfully, Saturdays are "rest days" for me... However, I was due to log 5 miles on Sunday.

Whenever we're back home on a summer weekend, my husband heads out for a round of golf with his father early on Sunday. Me, not wanting to hit the pavement in the midday heat, was left to figure out someway to get my miles in with the kids. Normally my Mom is more than happy to watch them. Unfortunately, she was suffering from a pulled muscle in her neck and wouldn't have been able to chase my 13 month old around... he's destruction on 2 feet. My older 2 would be no problem to leave behind... but what to do with Logan???

I got it!! I came up with this brilliant idea of borrowing my sister's jogging stroller. I'll take the baby with me!

Who the hell ever came up with the jogging stroller?

It is completey akward to hold onto the handle of the stroller while running. So, I'd hold this strap which is attached to the handle (so you can give the stroller a big push and not let it get away from you) and give the stroller a push then run, run, run - catch back up to it - push again - run, run, run - catch back up to it - push again - run, run, run.

Why not just run with a twenty pound brick in your hands?
