It felt great!<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;m paying for it.<\/p>\n<p>My back hurts. My whole body ached last night. I even took some Aleve before going to bed. Then this morning I ventured out to get the mail and slipped and fell on dew that had turned into ice on the driveway. Ouch! Now my back really hurts.<\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s warm today. 40 degrees. I want to go for a walk so bad.<\/p>\n<p>We went to town yesterday. I stopped at the kids gear store we have in town and looked at the one double jogging stroller they had in stock. They had the <a href=http:\/\/www.joggingstroller.com\/InStep-Safari-TT-Double.pro>InStep Safari<\/a> which has a swivel wheel like I think I want. I still think I want a swivel wheel after pushing that one around a little in the store. I get so tired of having to pop-a-wheelie in order to turn the stroller. Supposedly that works better when you&#8217;re jogging, but I&#8217;m not a jogger so I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=http:\/\/www.joggingstroller.com\/Dreamer-Design-Ditto-Lite.pro?WT.mc_id=JS1_home_DreamerDesignDittoLite_062306>Dreamer Design Ditto Lite<\/a> would be the corollary to the single jogging stroller I have right now. Again, I hate the fixed front wheel. Otherwise I have been very pleased with this stroller, and I use is about 5 times a week during the part of the year with nice weather.<\/p>\n<p>If I were to stick with the same brand, I think I would get the <a href=http:\/\/www.joggingstroller.com\/Dreamer-Design-Ditto-Manhattan-Deluxe.pro>Manhattan<\/a> one. I&#8217;ve heard having two wheels makes it much easier to handle when you&#8217;re pushing the stroller filled with two children of dramatically different weights (aka not twins). But the price is a little out of my range.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the reviews, my price range, and how long I think I&#8217;ll be using a stroller, I think the <a href=http:\/\/www.joggingstroller.com\/Schwinn-Safari-TT-Double-Swivel-2006-Stroller.pro>Schwinn Safari<\/a> might also work.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s so hard to know which stroller to get. I would be using it today if I had one. Yes, even with my backache. It just felt so good to go walking. Ben loved going for walks. Joey is starting to notice his surroundings so I&#8217;m sure he would enjoy walks as well. And we could go to the park every day if we wanted. Walking adds so much to our lives &#8211; fitness and a chance to get out of the house without driving to town.<\/p>\n<p>We have some leftover Christmas money and Steve and I both have birthdays in March. I&#8217;m thinking I might go ahead and buy a stroller next month after the credit card month-end cutoff (the 10th). Then I wouldn&#8217;t have to pay for it until April and by then I am sure I could come up with the money.<\/p>\n<p>I know &#8211; you shouldn&#8217;t buy things with money you don&#8217;t have. Right now we have all these hospital bills from Joey&#8217;s surgery. But walking is so good for you and I&#8217;m so tired of being cooped up in the house. It isn&#8217;t good to be a couch potato either.<\/p>\n<p>Baby crying &#8211; must go. At least I have steps to run up and down over and over during the course of the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went out and got the mail Wednesday and it felt so nice to get out of the house and walk that I went back inside, got the boys dressed to go outside, put Ben in the jogging stroller and Joey in the sling, and we went for a walk.
