Day 2,986: Trail running with stroller


LITHONIA, Ga. -- As a running tool, the BOB stroller has no peer. The version above (a Revolution SE) has done more than its share of plowing off of greenways and PATH trails in the nearly 3 years that we've had kiddos.

Today, we took it out for an excursion on the Wilburn Farm Trail in the Davidson-Arabia Natural Heritage Area. Just like with trail running, stroller trail running means you have to take what you're given.

It's not fast at times -- a rocky trail means you have to slow down or the stroller's ride starts to resemble something out of the covered wagon days.

Hills can even be no fun, as you're pushing the weight of the stroller (25 pounds) plus the stroller rider. But on a wide enough expanse of trail, even a nice dirt and grassy farm road once in a while, it can be fun.

By the time we made it around the farm's grassy dirt road and back to the paved PATH trail, the little one was fast asleep.
