Luke and I are trying to start a new hobby together. We went for a run today for the first time in a very very long time. I told Luke he could go ahead a take a picture of me while we were out, but unfortunately it didn't look anything like the picture above. In fact it was not a pretty site. I think it's pay back time for having 4 kids in just over five years, okay and just not being very active for five years. It's not a weight thing for me I'm just extremely out of shape. Luke on the other hand did fairly well until our second hand piece of junk double stroller popped a wheel off. Luckily no one was injured. I'm afraid the only damage done today was to our pride. This new hobby of ours I think is going to be a test of our endurance. With our double stroller down I think we might each be pushing an umbrella stroller. We are real pros around here. Wish us luck!

Woohoo!! Go Jen!! Now you can train to go to Nashville with me in a year. I will go running with you sometime. Running with a stroller is tough. It is added work plus you lose the momentum of swinging your arms. Let me know when you want to do a 5K, I will do it with you.
I started up the same hobby! I love it now...getting started was pure embarrasment though! Way to go guys!
You always find the right music for your posts, it cracks me up!!! Good luck on the new hobby. I am starting today!
ha - good luck. You two sure are ambitious. But I must admit - running can feel so good when you are actually in the habit of it. Maybe someday I will try again.
YEA! I'm so excited for you! Pushing a stroller is definitely hard work! Especially an umbrella stroller! Troy and I could never run together. His legs are just too long for me to keep up with!
Go get em! You two make me want to start picking up running. LOL I can't wait to try it out with a stroller soon.
That's so great! I have always loved running, and recently got started again. I'm actually working on a post for my blog about it! How funny?! Anyway, I found a great training program that's super easy and builds you up slowly. If you want it, just let me know. Good luck!
Dear Jenn,
Don't worry. In time you will do well. Your endurance is what is important. And don't think that having a bunch of kids is and easy thing. It is not.
Love,
Dad Thomas
Hurray for Running. You two are awesome. I wish I had a running stroller to give you but, I don't. Keep it up. James and I started working out together. I'm trying to build muscle mass so our workouts consist of going to the gym. I want to start Yoga too but life is crazy busy right now and that will have to wait.
Good Luck! I just bought a very used bike trailer/jogger. I can't wait for the temperature to be above freezing so I can get out and use it!
WOW! What a great goal. So i don't understand how it worked tho. Obviously Noah was in the stroller.....?????
That's hilarious!! I think it's great that you guys are running together. Jake and I watch TV together. That's a hobby, right?
I'm SO proud of you guys! You guys will do great!
I love you guys.
