BOB Revolution Revelations

One of the things I've been looking forward to most... was taking the boy on a run in the BOB (for those without kids, that's a really nice jogging stroller). Nearly two months after Dominic was born we finally headed out the door.

Melissa had already used the BOB in a stroller strides class. She said it was a piece of cake and that Dominic really liked it.

So there we were ready to run. First observation, it's way harder to run with a jogging stroller than by yourself. Especially if any hills are involved.

Dominic spent the first 3/4 miles checking out the scenery and enjoyingthe ride. He started to dose off and then...

The wheels came off. Literally. The front wheel came completely off... bringing the run to an abrupt stop.
So there I am in the middle of the park, broken down stroller, screaming baby and no cell phone. A true father-of-the-year. Panick started to set in... how am I going to get the baby (who's in the carrier, which by the way isn't exactly light), the now broken down $300 stroller and myself home?

Luckily, after a few mintues of work I got the wheel back on. Turns out it was loose to start with. So here are my BOB Revolution revelations... check the wheels before I leave next time... and oh yeah, bring a cell phone.
