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:
2:21
2:20
2:12
2:11
2:10
2:14
2:08
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. |
