Pushing the Double Wide!

The girls having fun running along side the stroller!


I had finally put myself in a position where I could run two - three miles without collapsing from lack of air, when Craig went out of town. My non-existent babysitters couldn't help me, so I pulled the double wide out - double stroller that is. When they were baby's, and I was more of an avid jogger, this was my means to being in shape. They're a little heavier now, but I managed to walk everyday with them and mustered two miles jogging and two walking on Thursday. All told, this stroller went ten miles this week.


A snapshot before heading out!

A view of what I pass on my walk/run!

Leave in the comments section, how many miles you think I can jog next week (not walk), and the lovely blogger living within Canada or the US who guess the correct distance - will win some goodmail from me! Hint: Craig's in town and I usually jog five days a week!

Hi Michelle!! Kudaos on your putting your running shoes back on! I'm really proud of you for pushing your girls around too; that takes dedication. I am going to guess that you will run 15 miles this next week. :0)
Good luck and have fun!

Great job pushing a small barge--and jogging with it--whew! If I understand correctly you should be sans stoller next week, so I predict you will jog 15 miles, 3 miles a day.
Nice view along your way too!

I will go for the middle with 16.

I have the same stroller! Kuddos to you for jogging with it. I can't jog with mine, it's TOO heavy and I would collapse. I am going to guess lucky #14. Since my guess was already said.

Ooh, I was going to say 15. Now I don't know, I believe one of the ladies who posted before me will get this one.

I guess 18. That is awesome, Michelle. I traded my double stroller in a LONG time ago - I was too much of a wimp to push it! I did okay with my single jogger though, although I walked. Thanks for sharing your progress with us.

I'm going with 17.5 miles. Whatever it is, it will be 100% more than me!

oh the joy of the double wide. last week i did 25 miles with mine and it is just empowering. i think i should be able to double my miles when i am pushing that thing!!
way to go and one mile is huge when you have to push a sleigh. (mine is red and my neighbors call it Santa's sleigh)
