Jogging Stroller

     If you've been with me from the beginning, you may remember I posted about how I ordered a Phil and Teds double jogging stroller a few months ago. This was an expensive purchase for us, but we decided it would hopefully be worth it. As soon as we put it together we realized the front wheel was broke, so I called them and they were nice and said they would send a new one out, so we waited and waited, but nothing came. So after 3 weeks I called again and they apologized and said they were on back order, but they would send them as soon as they could. They were really nice, but I was annoyed since we had it for a month and couldn't use it.
   So finally over three months later we got the tire and have been able to use our stroller. I am so glad we got one, I'm still not sure if it's worth all the money but it has made my like easier. It's super light and easy to maneuver. I have actually started running after I take Liam to school. I never thought I would run I hate running, but my husband and I went together a couple times and I liked that I was able to get some exercise done while the kids were up.  Plus I like being able to go with my husband and it helps keep me motivated. I will tell you running is one of the hardest things I've ever done, and it's probably more like jogging and I don't last long, but I feel good after I do it and it's a nice change to my regular workout.  Each time I run I try to go a little further then I did before and I am actually starting to enjoy it. Now I just wish we would have gotten a jogging stroller sooner. For any moms out there thinking of getting a jogging stroller I would definitely recommend it and if you're anything like me and thought you could never run I'm sure you can even if its for a few blocks at first.
       Don't mind the mess in the background I just wanted to give you an idea of what it looked like.

  1. It's so hard to imagine that when in high school I used to beg the PE coach to let me run around the basketball court during class in lieu of playing basketball. Now....I can barely make it around four times without feeling like I'm going to collapse!

    Thanks for linking up at Thrifty Peach Blog Hop! Have a wonderful weekend. :)
