Baby Brick

This weekend was eventful in more ways than just discovering the whole incline workout theory works... Baby Bear turned 5 months old, we finally bought our jogging stroller and we had our first Baby Bear Brick Workout Extravaganza!

OK, so it was a pretty sad brick (3 mile bike, 2 mile run) with the longest transition in history, which included a breast feeding, being spit up on and a complete change of clothing for both of us. But it was a gorgeous day and we spent most of it outside, so I wasn't gonna be picky.


[Ed. Note: We could only go 3 miles on the bike because he hated the trailer and cried every time it hit a bump, so I headed back home after only a few minutes. I strongly recommend against buying this brand of trailer - get something with better tires and maybe a suspension so the ride isn't so jarring.]

After the shortest bike leg ever recorded, it was time to test out my shiny new BOB Ironman stroller!


This stroller is Da. BOMB!!! It was so worth the wait. It's light as a feather, practically runs itself and Baby Bear was comfortable even though he's just barely big enough to sit up in it. The only thing I would change is remembering to put on my running bra before venturing out with it next time. THAT was an unfortunate oversight.

After workout time was done we relaxed and goofed around outside. Baby Bear got his first good look at grass...



And promptly decided he hated it.


So we chilled out watching the Cubbies beat the Pirates and called it a great day.

(We think his first words will be "Just wait 'til next year!")

No brick is a sad brick! A brick is always legendary! Much like you :)

AGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH I am overwhelmed by the EXTREME CUTENESS!!!

O.M.G. SO cute.

Great job on the brick! I heart my BOB stroller, too!

And JayZ's first words might be the same, seeing as he is an Indians fan like his Mommy! :)

I'm so sorry I've been incommunicado for so long. So great to get back over here and see you definitely hitting your stride.

Baby Bear, you've already done one triathlon and now brick training. You ROCK little Bear. You'll get used to grass I promise. You'll love playing in it when your a little bigger. Also, tell mommy you need a White Sox onsie. Maybe I'll have to get one for you. Go WHITE SOX!!! If you want to see a World Series in your little life time you might want to pick a different team. White Sox last time winning was 2005 not 1908. Have a great day baby bear. You are so cute. Tell Mommy I said hi and despite the whole Cubs thing she ROCKS too!!
