After much deliberation, I decided that I probably should heed the doctor's advice, take it easy (I am 25 weeks after all!) and just be thankful that I was able to run this far in. Today, after an extremely stressful day at work, I decided I had to get outside and exercise one way or another. Fortunately, my husband had just come home and was getting ready to leave for his run. I walked a mile while he ran 2. Of course it was frustrating for him to come back from his 2 miler in 12.36 when this is the third time he's ran in about 2 weeks....and previous to 2 weeks ago, it had been several months, but I'm supportive that he's doing so well of course! I hope he'll keep at it (not just doing it for the church 5k that's coming up on Sunday) so that once I can come back to running from being pregnant, I'll be able to have another running buddy - even though he'd have to go at a turtle's pace by then...
...speaking of the future, we've been looking at strollers and I really am wanting a hybrid jogger/stroller - one where the wheel locks and swivels. DH and I found one that we LOVE online - the Jeep Liberty limited stroller which is one of those hybrids:
And yes it really does have speakers and an mp3 hookup which is pretty much amazing. But we haven't been able to find any retailers that sell it locally, so if we do get this one, it will probably have to be a craigslist find. (picture is far left)
We did register for a Safari Instep stroller that is basically the same thing, but without the speakers. (picture below) I just want something that is a hybrid, is affordable, and is something that I'll be able to use for awhile. Both of them are infant seat adaptable with a list of about 10 different infant seats for each one that can be attached.
I don't know which one we'll end up buying, but I'd be happy with either really as the goal is to be able to use it walking soon after baby is born and starting to run in a couple months after the baby is born.
