So I loaded my small fry up into his stroller, and headed out for a quick run around the neighborhood. The run was nice, but running with the stroller was a different experience. Obviously, I figure my form would be different, but I didn't expect to feel the run so differently. I had to keep reminding myself not to lean to heavily on the stroller and to keep my back straight.
I also couldn't get up a decent gait because every time I did the stroller would shake, a lot. I don't have a jogging stroller, and now I'm thinking that if I continue to go running with my small fry then I might want to invest in one, but then again I didn't really enjoy running while pushing the stroller. My form was the biggest issue, I couldn't get comfortable.
It didn't help that the last third of the run was directly into a strong head wind, and I was struggling against the wind with the stroller. I mean I'm kind of glad for the extra resistance, because it definitely made me work harder, but again it wasn't a completely natural for me.
Anyways, I'm not displeased with the run, just I don't know that its something I'd be regularly doing.
So here's my partner at the end of the run. I'm definitely a little jealous.
