Moms Who Run w/LOs

l0613p · April 2012

Maybe this should be directed more to the moms who live in areas with four seasons. When you take LO out for the first run after winter (that is if you leave them at home when it?s cold out), do you feel like your first run with them is just awful?

I took DS out with me for the first time since the fall yesterday. I struggled so badly the entire time. I felt weak all over. My arms and back were uncomfortable/felt weak the entire time. I?m trying to figure out if I just had an off day or if it was because I took him out with me for the first time in months.

Running with a stroller is almost an entirely different exercise than running alone. So, like anything you haven't done for several months, you're likely to feel a bit rusty. Give it time, and let your body remember how to adjust when you're pushing LO. Don't be too hard on yourself! It's tough.

Yes, it's definitely much harder to push the stroller while running, especially uphill. And it's harder after a break. I just did my first run with the jogging stroller last weekend, and I had to take walking breaks.

oh yes, it's hard. especially since the LOs have put on weight if you take a month or two off!

That's exactly what I was going to say. Give it a few more workouts to get used to it.
