Day 2,928: Double strollin' on the Silver Comet



HIRAM, Ga. -- Running with a double stroller, what with about 87 extra pounds to lug around, isn't easy.

So I decided to try pushing it along a flat space -- with geocaches -- today on the Silver Comet Trail. 

I last was there in October, biking along the Rockmart section, and have pretty much visited most parts from Cobb County all the way to the Georgia border (and beyond, all the way to Jacksonville, Ala., on the Silver Comet's counterpart, the Chief Ladiga Trail).

There were a bunch of people running or walking along this section of trail. The trailhead has a red caboose in the parking lot, which is the office for the Paulding County Sheriff's Office. They have a little smart car that they drive up and down the trail.

It turned out I didn't get very far -- the little one(s) were asleep on the drive over and the 3-month-old woke up shortly after. I got my minimum for the streak -- 1 mile -- but then it was time to head back to town.

Still, even that short time was worth it!

Time: 9:26 a.m.
Temp: 36 degrees
Gear: Technical T-shirt, long, x2, Brooks Spartan II running pants, Saucony Kinvara 5 shoes.
