New question - stroller running.... when did you start? Any tricks or lessons for a newbie? Jessie will be 6 months next week. I have a BOB, and I know the manual says 8 months for running, but that seems fairly conservative. I remember conversations on the forum way before I thought about having a baby about running with the baby earlier.
I won't run with her in the car seat attachment, I would be too nervous that it would tip. We have too much snow right now to even consider running with her on the crusher dust trails, so that won't be until after 8 months anyway. But I'm wondering about running on the paved roads (back roads) with her soon. There's a great, flat, no traffic road about 1.5km away. I could walk there, then run and walk home. We do have her six month check up coming soon so I can also talk to the doctor, but she's sitting now, so I think her head control is pretty good.
I'm really not in a hurry to run with her, but I guess I'm just looking for options for fitness. I've only run two times in 2017 because I find it hard to get out at convenient times without her. Weekends are my only options to get out without her, and she is napping on stroller walks, so this might be a good way to combine exercise and a nap.
