We had a very warm day yesterday, almost 60 degrees out! It melted so much snow, and made the sidewalks finally clear and passable throughout most of town. I took advantage and ran to pick Will up at school!
It was great getting outside. Rather than driving and parking and dealing with getting Andrew in and out of the carseat, I got to run in the sunshine, and keep Andrew in the stroller while we waited for Will. It’s such a little difference, but it was so much more fun than driving.
Inflate your stroller tires! I know better, but I spontaneously chose to break out the jogging stroller and didn’t have time to inflate the tires first. They were so flat, and it’s SO difficult to push over 70 pounds of toddler and stroller with a flat tire. It was a slow run and a hard workout. This isn’t such a bad thing, but I would have run over 3 miles instead of just under 2 if I’d inflated the tires. Also… I need to have Greg teach me to inflate the tires. This is something I should be able to do for myself, but it needs to be done so rarely that he usually just takes care of it for me.
Not the treadmill! It’s amazing the difference running outside vs. the treadmill. There’s an incline feature on the treadmill, but I honestly never use it. I tend to just run faster instead of adding an incline, which isn’t ideal, but seems more fun. Getting outside to run, I remembered how many hills we have in the area! It’s especially game-changing when I’m pushing the stroller. It adds an element of challenge and an element of fun at the same time. A good reminder to use the incline on the treadmill in preparation for hitting real terrain come spring!
A few random photos!
I was curious if you ever considered changing the structure of your blog?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images.
Maybe you could space it out better?
