5 miles with the babe...

since i refuse to go out when it's dark outside (sidewalks are too uneven and i'm one of the biggest (heh) klutzes i know) and J doesnt care for the gym daycare (cries ... err screams .. the entire time), i decided to try to do a short (HA!!) distance with him in his stroller. it's just a regular Graco, not an 800 dollar jogging stroller, but we'll see...

i've been home for a few hours and i'm still undecided on whether i liked the experience or not... yes, it was more difficult pushing him in the stroller (but i probably burned a few more calories), he slept most of the time (and he doesnt look like he's going to duplicate that rest at home - so no "me time"), i had to stay relatively close to home just in case ... so the route was SO f'ing boring... SO.FING.BORING....

but it was nice getting him outside.. when he was awake, i could tell he was enjoying it... so i'll probably do this once or twice a week while the weather is "OK"... i may just suck it up and do my regular 2.5 mile route (and back to make it 5 miles)

blisters are back on my right foot... same place. the good news is, they didnt start hurting until well into the 4 mile mark - as opposed to the half mile mark last time... tomorrow is an off day then 4 friday and TEN (omgTenMiles!!!) saturday...
