The Gothenburg Half Marathon is HUGE. And each year it gets bigger and bigger. This year, there are 50,000 people registered! Chris has been training pretty well and pretty regularly, but since there's only a couple weeks left (in the middle of May), last Saturday Chris decided he wanted to run the route just to get a feel of it.
I'm not sure if his decision to bring Samuel along in the stroller was more for my sake, or simply because he liked the idea of the challenge, but we packed Samuel in the stroller complete with apples, books and drinks and Chris with is backpack and Sofia and I dropped them off at the starting point and the two of them set off. I was a little skeptical that Samuel would sit still that long (and that Chris would have the energy to push him the entire way!), but the run ended up being great for both of them. Chris said, they pretty much talked the entire time...Samuel would point things out and ask questions, and it ended up being a great bonding moment. I have to say I'm thoroughly impressed! :)

marathon? you've been running a marathon with this little baby. I keep checking in to see if she has made her entrance early. Nope not yet.
That is so great! I love running with Max when I get the chance, its so nice to have your attention concentrated on them. I will say, running 13.1 miles with a jogging stroller is AMAZING! Chris you rock!
