I was a new mother to my only child, who was all of 2 1/2 months old. I am also an avid runner and on that day I was so excited to finally take my jogger stroller on its first ride with my son.
However I didn't realize how long it was going to take me to get things all together and get him in, and all that goes with new motherhood. I was a little late in getting started on what my vision of this great first run with my son would be like ...
As we headed past Bloedel Donovan, my entire vision had changed, as Keenan was not enjoying his new ride one bit. He was so loud and clear as he screamed for the first half-mile of my four-mile route that I couldn't keep going to Whatcom Falls Park (this is, and will always be, my favorite place to run). So we headed back home.
