She's an early bird (usually up by 6:30), and I couldn't run before she wakes without pumping first, anyway, so it's just a no-go. I'm now an evening runner and it works great for me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13849002.post-53995344328377246082011-09-08T10:36:07.581-05:002011-09-08T10:36:07.581-05:00Do you have a garage?

Sometimes I feel silly with the garage door open to a nice morning or day and I'm running. But that way sometimes I can run during naptime, or later in the evening after kids are asleep.Corrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491213912278655711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13849002.post-1354254184393408392011-09-08T07:35:41.469-05:002011-09-08T07:35:41.469-05:00I'm having the same issues.

It lasted about five or six years before the motor died. I did like it because I could just leave it in the corner of our bedroom and it didn't take up too much space. I definitely have a love/hate relationship with the thing, but when the kids were younger, or when it's too hot, or too cold, or too late to run outside, it does come in handy...Aka Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09691390225208616675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13849002.post-3491392818507612072011-09-07T21:31:35.562-05:002011-09-07T21:31:35.562-05:00Just found your blog and am enjoying it!

Even if I only had 20 minutes I could jump on it and get a walk in and feel better.

He also insisted on the cheapest one (I never advocate for the cheapest of anything because it's usually a hunk of junk.) and it sounds like it's going to fall apart when you run on it. I've used it more than that but I've hated every minute of it. It's in our bedroom and it's an eyesore, but I can't quite bring myself to get rid of it because it would be convenient when we have little kids and can't get out.Running 365https://www.blogger.com/profile/13286894071641179669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13849002.post-68102078007829075222011-09-07T15:38:51.814-05:002011-09-07T15:38:51.814-05:00LMAO!

Now that I don't have to do long runs, I am not getting up on Sunday mornings to do a short run! <br /><br />I will probably make the same post as you when my baby is born and I am back running.
