Nice easy run pushing the girls in the double stroller this morning.
Down through the park, along the lake east to Stadium Rd and Lakeshore Blvd.
Left a little later than normal (around 10:30 am), so there was much more traffic along the M-G Trail as we did our out and back route.
The girls did well until they started to battle going up Spring Rd within a kilometre or so from the end. Doesn't it figure that they are angels all the way for almost 2 hours, and then start kicking each other and fussing when I'm doing the last hill of a long run? :-)
Pushing the stroller that far was tough on my legs, but it kept me going slower and in my target heart rate zone. I don't think I've ever been over 80% "in-zone" for a long Sunday run before. It DOESN'T mean I'm going to be pushing the girls every Sunday (32k?? Yikes!). But it does mean that I am capable of going sl-ow-ly.
