First Jogging Stroller 5k
38 years young, 16 weeks postpartum with my 2nd and really wanted to do a race with a jogging stroller and today was the day! I took my almost 3 year old with me and while it wasn’t a perfect run, it was exactly what I needed to prove that I can actually do it.
I’m not much of a runner and only have done a handful of races under my belt. The furthest I’ve gone was 5 miles and that was when I was in my prime (like 10 years ago).
Today I went in with the goal of just finishing and keeping up with my 2 minute walk/2 minute run intervals. It took me 44 minutes. I’ve practiced with just the empty stroller last week and today was my first time running while actually pushing my toddler and can I just say MY GOD this shit isn’t easy. Major props to you all who do this regularly. I’d love to do this race again and maybe improve my time.
