I took my favorite running partner, Cole, for a ride on the river trail this morning. I have been taking Cole on runs since he was about 4 months old. He has always loved the running stroller. He's a tiny boy, but still much heavier than he used to be. It was some serious work pushing him along this morning. But, it was fun looking at the ducks and geese, and any other random thing that catches a four-year-old's fancy. I'm going to be sad when he outgrows the running stroller. Maybe Lily will want a turn.
I've had a change in racing plans. I was supposed to run in Duluth, MN at Grandma's Half Marathon, but in the span of two weeks the plane ticket prices jumped from 600 dollars (which was a lot) to 800 dollars (ouch!). So, the following week I am going to run the RNR Half in Seattle. My mom lives there, so it will give me a good excuse to go visit her. Plus, airfare, hotel, and race entry (if I don't get a comp.) totals about half what it would cost me to go to Duluth. So, I will be extending my no chocolate commitment for one more week.
