5 miles early this morning.  It was rather chilly out.

PM- 11 miles with the jogging stroller.  Windy and warm- almost 80 deg.  Aiming for 75+ miles this week but I really don't know how many I will get each day since daughter #2 should be arriving any day now- she is due June 11.

11 miles with a jogging buggy, wow, that is worth more than your 11 mile easy run. 100 commando points for the child being good for the run. Must be a future runner.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

Very exciting!

11 miles with a stroller is impressive. Marci went way over with the last one, make sure you have daughter #2 before WBR !

Yeah, it was long today. Last year one day I did 16 or so one day, which took forever. I bribe the kid with small pieces of granola bar when she starts getting moody. As long as she isn't hungry or cold she does ok.

James, I know- we have a wedding the day of WBR, too- Marci's sister and near-twin. So we really want the kid to come soon so she can go to that- we are hoping to induce this week.

Yeah for Allen baby #2!

Very exciting about expecting the new baby. I have a daughter that was born on 6/11.
