windy wyndtree loop afternoon romp

it was cool and blustery out. i even went back to get mia another blanket. the run went well enough except for brief moments of disinterest and running into the wind. the baby was snug as a bug in a rug. its important to remember kids don't heat up once the run starts so the wind can be chilling to them; bundle them up. i really appreciate the ironman stroller convenience. it gives mia and i structured play and quiet time together. it also gets us out in the cool air to appreciate all the sites. without it i wouldn't have been able to train as often and with minimal disturbance to everyone elses schedule. the 2 keys to running with a roller: 1) get a good running stroller can't be overemphasized enough. you don't want to spend your time fighting with the equipment and 2) learn to ignore it just run as naturally as possible when managing the stroller. taking the baby on new adventures with the gps will also be exciting for each of us. children who grow up with active parents as role models have a greater chance of getting active themselves and learning stress reducing skills. they learn about persistence and determination to achieve long term goals and establish short term objectives.
