Pictures to come later...
Let's just say it is real nice. I cannot wait to start pushing. Of course I will start with Hannah first then work my way up to Abby
Hannah=22 pounds, JJ= 26 pounds, Abby 34 pounds.

I only have 12 days to get it together. I am hoping to get a quick two miles with Hannah in tonight.

I did samples down the driveway and all of them enjoyed it. Abby especially liked it.

No problem about buying one. Robin wanted me to go out that day and get one. I wanted to try RR first then ebay. We were actually quite pleased.
I don't know Allison, Abby is pretty heavy. She is on a nice dose of steriods now that always has her gain weight (2 pounds in the last week)
if she keeps that up she may be 37 pounds by race day.

You really shouldn't have a problem pushing Abby. I'm sure you'll find that it's more of a matter of adjusting stride (esp. if you have a long stride) rather than finding the upper body strength. I pushed my boys until their combined weight was 85-90#. And I'm sure, hopefully for your sake, that your upper body strength is way better than mine. The hills started getting real tough though. Think of those old-time movies where the guys are trying to get a piano up some stairs. I did a five mile race with a nice hill in the middle. My face was to the ground and I'm grunting and two guys are laughing "lady need some help" as they pass me. I passed them going down.

My husband had to push the stroller off to one side because his stride is very long. Apparently didn't slow him done too much. He was known to pass me at the end of many 5k. Of course I wlll note that they were on AFB= flat!!!!!!! Evil or Very Mad

I saw a guy just this week pushing his baby jogger w/child up a hill--his problem, he was wearing rollerblades. That guy was suffering something awful!!

And Sue, that is an amazing feat to push kids in a stroller while running--I am impressed! thumbs up
