Friday Fav!

So...many people have asked me how I have the time to run and train for races, since I am a stay-at-home mom of two young kids. Well....here is one of the ways I can do it...my "dreadmill". We have a love/hate relationship...I don't like having to run on the treadmill. I much prefer running outside. But...if it is pouring, or late, or there is a foot of snow on the ground...then the treadmill it is. Here it is, in all its glory.





Which brings me to my Friday Fav. I love to run outside best...but since my husband doesn't always have the most consistent schedule sometimes the only time I have to run is when I am home alone with the kiddies. This week's Friday Fav is......

My BOB double jogger!!!

I LOVE it. It easily fits both of my kids, rolls smoothly, turns on a dime, folds up to fit in my trunk, and has a space for a waterbottle and iPod....what more could I ask for? When I was first looking at double joggers I was a bit turned off by the price of this one. But..it was the only one that got consistently good reviews. So...I ordered it and LOVE it. Now that MissyMiss is in school, I usually have just Bubby with me. He uses her spot for snacks and toys.






Hope everyone has a great weekend!

You are equipped to run, no matter what the conditions. That is a snappy looking double wide. Great job!

I've always been impressed with anyone who can run while pushing a stroller full of kidlets. You must get an amazing workout on your stroller days. Do you notice a lot of difference between pushing a stroller while running and running without the stroller?

What a great idea - put your treadmill in the play room! I will have to remember that when I have kids... well I guess I should start working out first too! haha

Love that BOB double! In fact, if/when we have baby #2, I am so getting that! I relate to your situation a lot. I have to often run w/ my toddler in her jogger when my hubster is gone. And of course I am forced to use the beloved dready when all else fails.
