$200 Run

Does Paul look twice as happy to you?

I assure you, he is.

The first photo was taken when Sam was about three months old. We had just purchased the stroller and had taken it out for a test walk. That stroller has seen more miles of open Florida road than what I'd venture to say that any other jogging stroller in the world has. Sam and Paul used to go out most every morning for anywhere from 5 to 10 miles in the morning with just their cheerios and made up morning songs.

We just ordered and picked up our dualie version from REI last Friday on the cusp of Peter's fifth month, and as Paul mentioned took it out for its inaugural run(s) this weekend.

Our family is at its best when we are on the go, free to get out, explore the great outdoors, breathe fresh air and taste adventures big and small. When deciding on the millions of rediculous 'must have' baby items on the market when we became parents we always knew that anything that would keep us mobile would be worth any dollar amount we spent and all the rest we could do without.

We laugh about the first jogging stroller and if we were to figure it's cost per run that it would be less than a penny a run. We took our second run on Sunday with the dualie, the best $200 run we've ever had. With two sets of tiny feet kicking happily in the breeze we'll be off again this weekend to run on the mall as we've dreamed of doing for months.....
