The Adventures of Lilli: Runs with Lilli

Since she did so great running 5 miles with us on Saturday I've decided to just go ahead and start running with her in the running stroller. So this morning after her breakfast we (Lilli & I) headed out for 4 miles. We ran from our house down to Shelby Park, around the lake and part of the greenway. Basically I ran 2 miles out and then back. I stopped for some water (man, it was hot and sunny!) at my turn around point and a cyclist meeting me told me there was a snake up ahead but he didn't THINK it would hurt me. AAAAK!!!! Think???? That's not too reassuring! I had just come through there since I was at my turn point, so I can't believe I didn't see it! Another runner was coming towards me so I told her about it and gave her a little head start. I never saw it and I never saw her jump so hopefully it had slithered off! We had a great run, she slept off and on and I enjoyed the peaceful park on a workday morning. The hill out of the park is murder, so I had to walk that bit and some traffic slowed me down at intersections heading from our house to/from the park but I was still pleased with my time. My park miles were right around 10:20 each, so that's not bad for 13 weeks PP and pushing about 37 pounds of combined baby/stroller! I'm somewhat contemplating running the Girls on the Run 5K in a couple of weeks with Lilli. Since it's a program to encourage girls to run I think it would be a fun race for us to do together, and I think I could probably run it decently well with her as long as it's not super crowded.

We also did more photos of Lilli yesterday afternoon (indoors) for her 3 month milestone. I haven't really gotten to go through them yet, so I'll probably add a Picassa slideshow in here once I can get them organized (we took a few hundred or so!)

Here's a couple of pics from this morning:
