It had been WAY too long since I saw my friend Juli and my Godson David, so this afternoon is was pure bliss seeing both of them and spending quality time together.

After arriving at Juli’s house I realized that Juli had lots she wanted to do and I thought it would be a great idea to take David for a walk.

So after David showed me his new “tricks”. (He is sorta like a puppy. Each time I see him he has learned to do something new.)

Look at me I can sit up, open my mouth and play with toys all at the same time.

David and I set off for a walk, while Juli stayed home to have some time to herself. It was a beautiful day and I hadn’t run yet, so I thought I would run instead of walk. Little did I know that running while pushing a stroller with a 20 lb kid in it was so hard. I have a new appreciation for all parents that run regularly with a baby jogger. Damn it is hard. I made it 2.65 miles at a 10:20 pace before I called it quits and just walked the 2 miles home.

I sweated while David napped

I always knew that running with a stroller would be hard, but by golly, it was HARD!

Davids newest and greatest talents, sticking out his tongue

Great job to all the dedicated parents who run regularly with a baby jogger. I give you lots of credit to get out there and run endless miles while pushing a stroller.
