We did it! After months and months of all talk and no (double strolling-) action, I finally plucked up the courage to load both kids into the double stroller - simultaneously, I must add - and head out the door. This is huge for us, people.

| Loaded up and ready to go! K looking very suspicious of our new passenger. |
We didn't go very far (we stayed within the parameters of our security complex), but our excursion was a delightful success. No tears, no milk breaks and no nervous breakdowns - just smiles all around. Hooray!
 |
| All smiles. |
And then I got cheeky and did it again the next afternoon... With similar results... Can you say "happy mama"?? So even though we're still light-years away from 10 k family runs, we made a start this weekend. And we plan to gradually build it up over time. Never underestimate the day of small beginnings, right?

In other news, K and I also clocked our longest run since J Bear's birth this weekend (we did it without J) - a whole 7 km, BOOM! At this rate we'll be catching up to Big Dog's fitness in no time, mwuahaha...

Love that stretching picture, so cute...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gordon - it's such a precious picture for me too. Love how she's laughing and having fun!
DeleteThat is awesome! You will certainly get some extra strength training in that way. Great pics!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Johann! Yip, strength training and cardio in one go :) !
DeleteYou go, girl! Running with a double stroller can't be an easy task.
ReplyDeleteLol, uphills are quite a challenge, but thinking about how strong they'll make me, makes them a little less painful ;) ...
