Larry’s Logs

Spent a good bit of time pushing a double, they don’t roll nearly as smooth as one might think…

I have some luxury strollers tbh. We were lucky to get B.O.B hand me down double and single strollers from some close friends. They roll very smooth.

Cherish the days of double stollers... before you know it, the older on is working on her driver's license...

Wife has covid now and had to drop out of the 1/2 marathon trail race…I still went and had a good showing. Probably should have been more aggressive in the beginning which was mostly a crushed limestone path. The second half was all dirt/mud single track trails. Even had to wade across some creeks at a couple of spots. Was really fun, i think i really shine on the trails. Got like 5th place overall and 2nd in my age group.

Woohee you're knocking on a sub-10 min MAF mile! That's been a big goal of mine for a while. Awesome dude!

Thanks man! I still think I’m better off around an 11 min pace, but my wife can’t bare that.
