12 miles and a baby jogger...........

The PF Changs 1/2 marathon is just a short 3 weeks away.

We're in our final weeks of training and the miles are starting to pile up. I ran 11 miles on Sunday. My friend and training partner Tammy left today for Utah to go skiing over Christmas; so we decided to do our long run this morning.

This meant that I had to take Cathryn with us.

I usually don't like running with the jogger. I can't swing both arms, and well it's just a bit awkward.

Okay people. It's challenging enough to run 12 miles, but try doing it pushing a 25lb baby.

Hey, I did it. This will make me stronger, and I'm really happy our long run for the week is over.

I do wish I had a camera. At about mile 11, Tammy was helping me push. Tammy is about 5' tall, maybe even 4'11" and me, well I'm 5'9". I'm sure we had several chuckles from passers by.

We made it to the end, and Cate never made a peep!

I'm tired!
