Free Bird!

As I mentioned here, I needed a jogging stroller. Needed it.
Once upon a time, I was free. I could roam wherever I wanted to go whenever I wanted to do it. I could run to the hills and back. I could run to the corner store.
But now things are different. I have been saddled blessed with a child.
As I mentioned, all those days ago, I had narrowed down my options to a Bob Ironman or a Mountain Buggy Terrain. Once I had limited my options, I then checked my bank account. A quick trip to Craigslist later and I found the perfect stroller.
A cheap one.
We scored a used InStep 10K Ultimate.
It was missing a rather vital joint on one side that caused the whole thing to lean like a drunken sorority girl, but the hubby fixed that with a trip to the hardware store and the purchase of some parts for a whole 16 cents.
We broke down all of the cloth parts and threw them in the wash, and voila! Instant fitness.
The fixed wheel is a bit of a pain for regular walking, but the performance isn’t bad considering the price tag.
Now, once again, I am free to roam.
Until it’s time for a diaper change, anyway.
