Lifting/Running Partner

I reunited with an old running partner...my little guy! Nick and I went for a run yesterday before it was super humid out. I forgot how fun it was to run and just watch him looking around : ) Soon he can go in the regular stroller w/o his carseat (when did you start putting your baby in the regular part?) - but for now as long as possible I like how he is facing me and I can see what he is doing. He'll be 6 months tomorrow!



Do you see the sun coming in - it is like a halo for the little angel : )
Tired lil guy


I've been trying to switch it up a bit! I had fun with my run yesterday, biked, ran, and did elliptical on Monday, and lifted this morning and biked and ellipticalled. I just did random things for lifting here and there for 30 minutes. I think I will try to lift 2 to 3 times a week and pick new things to do each time. I like classes or videos for lifting, because I find that I get bored figuring out what to do next. I'm going to check out on demand for that, and I think maybe the 3rd time in the week I can do Jillian for circuit training with lifting. Here's me doing some lifting of my 15+ pound weight below :)

  3. He is sooooooooo cute!!! Love that video.
    I'm sure changing up stuff is all you need...and maybe not stressing over it. I think stress makes you hang on to fat?

  4. Six months is such a cute age, and Nick is an excellent example. You're going to love it when he's old enough to give you a high five at the end of your run. Very satisfying.

  6. I never used my carrier in the stroller. My 3yr old was born in July- so it was HOT and she always got way too hot in the carrier. I think my travel system was a complere waste of money!! I'm sure he would really enjoy seeing a different view, but do it when your comfortable.

  7. You need to post pictures of Nick more often... He is a CUTIE!!! Oh my gosh- don't you just smile every time you look at him!?!?! :)
    I haven't run with Moana in the jogger in a long time. I'm actually looking forward to going back to that sometimes once ironman training is over.

  8. I can't believe he is 6 months already. I'm pretty sure I had Zach facing out in the bob around 5 months. But it was ice covered here then so I wasn't running with him - just getting from point A to B.

    And he is one happy little guy. Too bad all weight lifting routines aren't as much fun.

  14. What fun pics and video! He is getting cuter everyday! Good job on the circuit training, mixing it up always helps. And I love the OnDemand feature, there is always something on there specific to what I am in the mood for. :)

  17. Wow, how is he 6 months already?

    I put Baker in the stroller without the carseat right before 5 months and he was fine.

  22. Man, that little guy is getting cuter and cuter by the day (if that's possible!). Awesome photos.

  23. He's very cute!!

    I think I forward faced my guy around 3-4 months and he was fine. He liked it better, actually! He was probably sick of staring at my face.
