Pushing Santa's sleigh

So that's why my run felt so hard today!

Kara and Matty were sitting in the stroller giggling while I ran. Then I heard Kara sing a Christmas song. Cute, no? Then she said "Momma, you're pushing Santa's sleigh!" All I could respond with was "Oh." It's hard to speak and run with a jogging stroller at the same time when you're going up a hill. Go figure.

After I finished, I realized I was wearing a bright red fleece over a long-sleeved white wick-away shirt, and I had the sleeved rolled up a bit which made it look like I had big white cuffs. I was dressed like Santa from the waist up! Oh, and Kara insisted she go out for this run in her Halloween costume, which was a purple unicorn. So here is Santa pushing a unicorn in a stroller. No wonder people were smiling and waving as I passed by, as if I was in a parade.

Here's Kara in her costume, taken on Halloween (sidekick Matty was just a regular ol' horse):

Way to go Santa! We know who to call if the reindeer go on strike :-)

Hay Santa, is it too late to put in my request for Christmas. All I want is a Garmin 305. Just put reindeer ears on the dog and then go out running.

You should have taken a pic, Santa's little helper =)

That is hilarious! It's amazing the imagination kids have, isn't it? Good job on the run, since that was probably not an easy load to push. Unicorns are heavy!
