2.6 miles in the morning, partly with Holly, and partly alone. I'm gonna start bringing my pepper spray! It's getting so dark so early these days.
2.4 Running my son to and from school. I finally broke the stroller the rest of the way. : (
On my Instep double jogging stroller there is a clip-like thing on each side that I have to push down (after unfolding the stroller) to keep the stroller from folding up while running. A couple of days ago I broke one of the clippy things off because I didn't realize I had only clipped one side. Too much strain for one clippy, I guess. So I've been running with just the other side clipped, and just trying to be careful with it. He he. Being cautious has never been my strong suit. Without functional clippies, the stroller tries to fold up if I allow any pressure on the handle bar. So I can't turn it by raising the front wheel the way I usually do.
So this is me.. about .7 miles from home....jogging along, pulling UP on the handlebar. Oh NO! Here comes a turn. Stop. Lift the back two wheels off the ground (not to mention the 75 lbs. of offspring) grunt a little and carry it about 3 feet to the side. Resume running. Definitely a good biceps workout for me! I hope hope hope I can buy parts to fix my stroller, as it has become a rather important part of my workout plan. |
