Test Drive

Yesterday, the UPS man brought this to my door. It was my gift to myself for completing half of the Couch 2 5K program.

So last night, while Mia was sleeping and Kevin was at a meeting, I took it out of the box.

It took me less than half an hour to assemble the whole thing.

And this morning, we took it out for a test drive!

Verdict? Very happy with the stroller. It's heavy (almost 30lbs), but it folds as flat as one can expect, flat enough that I can fit it in my hall closet for storage. It runs very smoothly. Mia smiled and giggled for the whole ride, so I know that she was comfortable.

My only complaint? It makes my workout harder :p I had been up to 25-minute runs, but pushing almost 50 lbs of stroller and toddler in front of me adds a whole new dimension, especially going uphill. I managed to run about 20 minutes today, but it's going to take a little bit to get my body used to this.

Should buff up my arms, though, right?
