First Run!

This was the first weekend that everyone was healthy enough for our first run with the jogging stroller.
Full disclosure: Andy did about 75% of the pushing.  It seems his height gives him an advantage.

Sorry for the crookedness.  We put the tripod on top of a car to get a pic of all three of us.

It's a whole new type of workout to run with a stroller.  I was surprised by how hard it was, and I didn't even tackle any big hills.  In my defense, it was super humid, and that always makes things a little tougher.  Chad fell asleep after about 2 miles.  When he wasn't sleeping, he just held onto his parrot and looked bored.

6.2 miles later!  (That may have been a somewhat ambitious length for our first time out.)

It's an article about a study that shows the benefits of working out while pregnant.  Chad is on his own for keeping his heart healthy now, but I'd like to think he got some benefits from all the runs we did together while he was still an inside baby.
