One day while driving along with the kiddos, we passed two women running together on the sidewalk. Evelyn was all excited and yelled, "Look mommy, cool runner girls like you!!" :)

The kids new ride... the BOB-mobile!!

The kids have a brand new ride -- I am calling it the BOB-mobile. I am totally in LOVE!! I went running tonight after work with the kids and was pleasantly surprised with how amazing this stroller is. I mean, running while pushing a stroller with two kids is obviously hard -- but this makes it as easy as possible. It truly is the cadillac of running strollers... love, love LOVE IT!! I am going to steal my friend Melissa's goal that she had with her running stroller -- I need to run a mile for every dollar that I spent on it. After today, it is $4 down... a lot more to go!
And Travis is being so cute... he has been running the past few nights after the kids go to bed. We are going to do a 5K on the 25th with the kids in the BOB-mobile -- and he is serious about starting some training. I don't know what he is worried about... I am clearly not going to be able to beat him if I am pushing the kids!! Love that he is making running somewhat of a focus for him, since he know it is important to me :)

Going to a fall harvest festival thing tomorrow with the kids... date-night with some friends tomorrow night... babysitting Lola on Sunday so Chuck and Kim can enjoy the Seahawks game... it is going to be a fun weekend!!

What a great idea. I would love to have a joggings stroller, but it is difficult with 3 little ones and Josh isn't much of a runner :(

My SIL gave me her double jogging stroller, it looks similar with 2 front wheels rather than one. It puts the Sit N Stand to shame. I love mine. We use it everyday to check on pigs and stuff in the back yard. I'm so glad mine was a gift... I looked up what it retailed online, holy cats! Enjoy yours and may you get every dollar out it!!

Very nice stroller! I love that when you get used to running with the stroller, and then go to run without it, like for a race or something, it's 10 times easier! I think it's great training!

I can't wait to start running again!

Laura -- believe me, I got an incredible deal on the stroller... found some guy that sells them for practically his cost (not sure how he gets them and not sure I want to know...) I would never have paid the retail price!!

I'm glad we get to share part of your fun weekend with you! And I love your BOB-mobile goal. It took me about a year, but you can do it!

My friend has a Bob and loves it! I'm keeping it in mind in case we ever need one.

Laura said...

Totally awesome that you got a great deal on it! I keep telling myself when the new one gets here if I put it in the Baby Bjorn, the older 2 in the stroller, and walk daily I'll be trim and fit in no time!

We borrowed the single BOB from a friend... she went to the bike trailer once her second came along. I LOVE the BOB though... And I believe you will get every $ out of it... I am SO JEALOUS of you running. I can't wait to be able to run again... looking forward to a race with you next summer!
