Workout: general aerobic 10mi.

Today was originally scheduled to be a 17mi. long run, but the babysitter called in sick. Since the weather was somewhat cooler--at least relative to last week--Booger and I took the jog stroller along the southern MVT. I imagine most organized running groups, if any, had long since departed the trail, though there were numerous jackpipes on bikes.

One observation from today was this: running with that jog stroller is a lot more work than I previously thought! I guess I never realized how much resistance it puts up, but it makes sense considering the seating area is effectively a big canvas parachute. Pushing that along open-river stretches for 10 mi. can be a chore, to say the least.
