Hitting the road

Gregg and I have both finally started working out again. (Truth be told Gregg has really started and I am just getting started!) A couple of weeks ago one of my co-workers husbands had a massive heart attach and passed away. He was 38 years old and healthy and left a wife and 2 young children behind. This combined with the fact that the #'s on my scale still read higher than what I would like and Cade is almost 6 months old have prompted me to take action. We have been walking around the neighborhoods every evening for a couple of weeks now and then Gregg and Cade have been going jogging every day that they are together. We have both started the Couch to 5K workout on days that we are home.

After we did the March of Dimes walk we decided that we needed a jogging stroller if we were going to be serious about jogging/ walking every day. We did a lot of research on different strollers but really didn't want to invest a lot in a jogging stroller since we have 2 other strollers and will need to purchase a double stroller sooner or later. So, Gregg started looking on Craig's List and we found a great stroller at a good price that was just down the road from where we live.

Cade loves the stroller and enjoys going for long rides in it! We have loved how much smoother it is to control on the uneven sidewalks and streets. All in all I think this is a win win for everyone and we look forward to slowly hitting the road again in pursuit of a more healthy family!!!
