I needed to take the little dude with me on my long run today (which was a short long at only 4 miles), so I stowed the BOB in the CRV and headed off to Bear Creek (Pretty sure all of that rhymed)!
Pushing a stroller while running is no joke. If you're ever bored and think "gee, how could I spice up my runs?" Try adding a 40 lb weight in front of you, and pushing it, one handed, while wearing a wrist strap, and staying on your 1/2 of the path. No. Not simple.
A few things to remember about stroller rollin:
š¼ The stroller will slow you down, it's inevitable. Just enjoy your run and try to break a land speed record another time.
š¼ The stroller will screw up your stride. It is very difficult to run with good form and push the one handed stroller. So, don't do it a majority of the time.
š¼ Babies under 6 months minimum need to be in their rear facing car seat with approved accessory attaching the car seat. This is MUCH safer. Honestly, I left my oldest that way until he was too big for the seat.
š¼ ENJOY the bonding with your kiddo! You're showing them something very important; love of exercise. Priceless!
Bottles after our run!
