The crux of today was that my workout prescribed that I do an easy 7ish mile run. It was supposed to happen in the afternoon, as this would simulate my Boston start time. Now, because of the events of the weekend, I had to run with Ivan in the jog stroller. Seven miles with the jog stroller is not my favorite thing, but it was my only option.
Now, I had to wait until after Ivan's nap to put him in the jog stroller. If you are so foolish as to put Ivan in the jog stroller before his nap, he will fall asleep, refuse to nap during his scheduled nap time, stay fractiously awake for the rest of the day, and ruin your evening and maybe your life. There is NOTHING worse than an un-napped two year old. Also, Ivan is fulfilling all my dreams of parenthood by taking three hour naps if I play my cards right, and I will not compromise playing my cards right.
So, after Ivan woke up from his nap, we went to run. I packed him into the jog stroller and put my iphone in the phone carrier on the stroller so that I could listen to Angels and Demons while I ran. I got the run off to a good start, but no more than two miles in, Ivan learned how to get out of his jog stroller harness. I was running and all of the sudden, Ivan's head came popping up above the stroller roll bar. He was standing on his seat and trying to climb out the top, and when that did not work, he reached forward to grab the front wheel. No amount of threatening, re-harnessing, counting to three, or bribery did any good. He just kept standing up.
For this reason, I will have to get the run in tomorrow somehow, as if I didn't have anything else planned for my day off.
