Running with a pram

Last night I went for a run with some fellow North Herts Road Runners. A year ago that wouldn't have been anything noteworthy, after all it was what I did twice a week and have done for 10 years now. However, post Hannah this isn't as straight forwards as it used to be. Here is how last night went:
  • Discuss with Mr C about our running plans for the evening. Decide on a plan which is for Mr C to do the mile reps and for me to go for a run (too cold to leave Hannah hanging around in between mile reps if we both do them)
  • Feed Hannah to ensure she doesn't get hungry en route
  • Change Hannah into her pjs so she can go straight to bed when she gets home
  • Change Hannah's nappy as she likes to wait for the most inconvenient moment before needing a clean nappy
  • Pack my running bag while Mr C entertains child
  • Mr C packs running bag while I entertain child, prepare her milk for later and ensure we have a supply of nappies to take with us
  • Put Hannah in her car seat, gather up our belongings (looks like we are going away for the weekend!) and off we go!
  • Arrive at tennis club and put Hannah in her pram
  • Do notices and finally set off for run...stop 2 seconds after leaving front door to put rain cover on pram
  • Finally go for a run!
  • Mr C returns from mile reps at 8:30, I go for a shower and he feeds Hannah
  • Mr C goes for a shower
  • Phew, we both have dinner!!!!
  • Put Hannah back in her car seat, gather up our belongings and go home
  • Arrive home and put all of us to bed

    I managed 2 and a half miles through Letchworth town centre and it was pretty succesful, running with the pram makes your arms tired though!
