I'm sorry, I just had to attention whore myself. I did the Country Music Half Marathon yesterday while wearing Graham! Here's a link to the article in today's paper!

When I saw the title of this post, I gasped. I can't imagine running a half marathon without wearing a baby; this is seriously impressive! Way to go, mama!

Amazing! What kind of carrier did you use?

Love it! Which Didy did you use?

Awesome job!

Article says she was wearing a Didymos woven wrap. They ought to pay you for marketing! LOL

I didn't think running while BWing was safe for the baby.

ETA: A quick search on TBW brought this up. Please don't run any more with your baby.

I don't think she actually ran with her one year on her back. I was taking it as more of a walking/jogging not sprinting. I can't imagine anyone being able to sprint while babywearing..but who knows. And you're right sprinting with your little one wouldn't be safe.

FWIW, I run with Trevor in my arms when we're playing around, or ran around the yard playing with him on my back Wink

Oh good, I was imagining all the jostling that three hours of running would have done. Of course playing around is fine! And bouncing for a few minutes in the carrier is very sleep inducing as well.
