I finally ran pushing my daughter in the jogging stroller.  Hated it, but now I have no more excuses for not running.  I think I will get used to it though.

I set out to do at least 4 but my garmin kept shutting off  on me and I just replaced the batteries, so I went on a route that I have done numerous times and I know it is 3 miles.  I am going to run it again tonight and maybe later this week attempt pushing her for 5 miles.  She is 3 and about 30 lbs so I should probably appreciate the added resistence or something.  I will get used to it and it will get easier, I am just glad to run.

Again I ran after work pushing the daughter in the jogging stroller.  It wasn't as hard as yesterday thank goodness which will help my motivation to keep doing it.  I think maybe tomorrow I will try pushing her for 5.  We will see.

Anyway, it was a short but good run.  I hate only doing 3 thats just enough time to get warmed up and starting to feel good.  Oh well, at least I can do that and it is definately better than nothing.

Same as the last couple of days, ran my usual loop while pushing my daughter in the jogging stroller.  It has gotten easier than the first day which is good.  I was starving when I got off work so I just ran the 3 and ate 5dinner.  I will do more later in the week.

Today I got to run without pushing my daughter and it was the farthest I have ran in weeks.  I felt really good and can't wait to do it again.  I didn't wear my garmin so I have no idea what my pace was or anything.  Hopefully I will get it working.
