Getting out for a run has been hard lately. I work during the day (and leave the house before 7:00 am which means there will be NO morning runs). Jason works at night (not returning until after dark). YOU try and find an exercise solution that fits with that schedule and a toddler!
I tried to convince Stacey that we just needed to suck it up and do the dreadmill thing so I could put Drew in the daycare at the gym. But we hate the treadmill. So I said we'd take classes- aerobics, spin, pilates, etc. But then we realized.... we kinda like running. (Shhhhh...)
Hence...
Freedom!

| Drew was already ready to go for a run the first day! |
A lightweight jogging stroller (with a break on the handlebar and a tether strap... cuz we run that fast, y'know!).
Not only that, but we also invested in a GPS watch.

| This is not my actual wrist, but it IS about that size on me |
The two combined have given us complete freedom to run when and where we feel like it (well, God does still control the weather. We don't have control over that.). We no longer have to plan routes ahead of time if we want to hit a certain mileage. No more trying to find the proper "start" and "stop" signs along trails to determine how far we ran. And Drew gets to join us!
And he thinks we're super funny when we run. He never stops grinning at whoever is running beside the stroller. But if you saw us, you'd probably laugh, too.
