Park Hopping isn't just for Disney!

When Tony and I got married eons ago, we used to run on the weekends. Over the years, we got busy or lazy or maybe a little of both and stopped running. We recently started running again on the weekends and at least for now, we're enjoying it. We put the kids in the double jogging stroller and head out on various paths. When we choose a route, we try to find at least one park for Daniel to play at which gives us a nice break and it's fun for him! Tony has been working from home on Fridays, so we've added early Friday morning to the mix as well. We started out running 3 miles each time and then went up to 4 miles. This past weekend, we ran 4 miles on Friday, 6.2 miles on Saturday and 6.4 miles on Sunday. We are running through different neighborhoods which keeps it interesting...but we've also been known to get a little lost! Here's our water girl making sure we stay hydrated...
Each of the parks have been a little different so Daniel has fun! He has names for each park like the green park, blue park, park with the hello (a thing you can talk into and it echos).

Last weekend, it turned into a little bit of a nature run as we saw a frog (the biggest frog we've ever seen...and a graceful hopper he was not), 2 rabbits and 3 ducks!
Can't wait to see where this weekend takes us on our running journey!
