We ran a 5k this morning to start off our new year.
Daniel came in first in the race ... for the baby stroller pushing category.
James fussed a little while we waited for the race to start but as soon as we began running he quieted. With the rythmic sound of our feet hitting the pavement and the gentle sway of the stroller he was quickly lulled to sleep in his little cocoon. He was bundled in his jacket, two blankets, and protected from the wind by his rain cover. He had the easy part of the race.
I should note here that I only pushed the stroller when Daniel was taking pictures. Daniel was my hero and pushed the stroller the rest of the time. 
I would also like to state for the record that Daniel could have run it a lot faster if I hadn't insisted on the slow and steady method. He kept having to look back, slow down, and encourage me on because I wasn't feeling so well this morning.
Although it was our slowest time ever (35 minutes) we feel pretty good for having done it. Plus we got some nice hoodies as souvenirs to remind us how cool we are... or maybe how cold we were. It was a whopping 20 degrees Fahrenheit. 
Happy New Year!
