And so it begins...

Ryan and I went for our first jog with the new jogging stroller this morning. I am surprised to say that it actually went really well! Ryan cried a little at first, so we walked to start out. He didn't like it when the front wheel was locked, so we ended up jogging the whole thing with the wheel unlocked, which actually turned out to be easier for me. The stroller takes the turns so much smoother when the wheel is unlocked. We ended up jogging 2 miles. Hopefully we can work up from there, but I would say that's a pretty good start!

One mistake I made was dressing Ryan too warmly. When I walked outside to check the weather this morning it felt really cold, but our front door was shaded and the sun hadn't really broken over the mountains yet. Next time we go, I will be sure to dress him a little lighter. Here he is all ready for our jog this morning. What a happy little guy!


After my dad came down last night, we took the stroller for a test drive. We walked the rent checks down to the USPS box a few blocks away (side note: we only have to collect rent two more times! Wahoo!). Here is a picture from last night. It actually was chilly last night, so the sweatshirt and Ryan's outfit were merited. I love sweatshirt weather!


On an unrelated note, this afternoon I am going to get my first professional massage! It was a birthday gift from Zach's mom last year and I am just now getting around to using it. Pregnancy tends to put things like that on the back burner a bit. I am so excited and I think it is coming at the perfect time. Zach will be home this afternoon to stay with Ryan, so it will be like a little mini mommy vacation for me. I can't wait. I am getting an hour long Swedish massage, a pedicure and a manicure. I'm not gonna lie, I am a little nervous about the massage part (some random person rubbing me = awkward!), but I am sure it will be relaxing and awesome. TGIF!
