Sneakers & Joggers

This is my catalyst. God knows I'm not going to be able to do this by myself. Mom has already signed up to cheer me on, on race day. Pencil it in Sue Ann. Last Sunday in August. Long Island, New York.


So as I texted Annie the other night, I went to a local running shop and bought my first pair of "big girl" running sneakers. What a difference it makes when you don't buy your sneakers on clearance at Kohl's. Saucony's. First pair I've ever owned. Fell in love with them the first workout. Now how often am I supposed to replace these suckers? I can already see this getting to be an expensive hobby! 

Speaking of expensive, I've been researching jogging strollers too. Here are the specs:
- rainfly and breathable mesh covers
- convert to bike trailer
- convert to skiing (optional)
- fold up to fit into trunk
- storage

Found a jogger at a store next to the running store where I got my sneakers called the Croozer. Doesn't have the option to ski, but fits the rest. They had a double stroller in the store. Ceci absolutely loved it. She made me buckle her in then refused to get out. She even insisted on wearing a "hat", as she called it, (child's helmet) located in close proximity to the jogger. At least I know the jogger won't get denied like the kelty did. Which by the way I have hanging out in the livingroom to try to get her used to it. I think it's more being up high than anything else. She'll sit in it when it's on the ground. Getting it up on mommy's shoulders is the trick. I digress..... the other jogger I've found is the Chariot. This one has the skiing option. How cool would that be?
