I tried fast miles with the jogging stroller.  I wasn't expecting much.  I warmed up a mile and a quarter.  I did the run on the marked trail.  The first mile was mostly downhill and the second was back up that same hill.  I was aiming for 2:30 a quarter.  I figured I should be able to run at least a ten minute mile with a stroller.  (Now keep in mind, I have a single jogging stroller--not a double.)  Here are my quarters:

2:10

My first mile was 9:14 and the second was 8:42, for the marvelous total of 17:56.  Will and I were cruising especially the last half a mile.  It was all up hill!  Silly to think I did 2:20's going down it.  But, there is my running theme--slow to fast.

I was going to jog the last half mile home, but I decide to stop by the swings on the way home.  Will was very pleased.
