BJ City Elite double - heavy for a petite mom? Vs GT

It is currently clearanced out because the City Mini GT double replaced this model. The Elite spec is 42 lbs and the GT is 32. I am 5'0" and very petite, so I'm wondering if anyone with an Elite can comment on getting this thing in and out of a trunk. Mostly we need it for neighborhood walks but a few times a month I might go to the mall or outlets. We also like to Powerwalk/jog. I currently have a single Bob and there's been 5 or less occasions where my DH was not there to lift it for me, do maybe that's a non issue!

My kids will be 21 months apart, I'm due end of June.  

All comments are welcome! TIA!

    I should edit the above. We've never full on jogged with the single Bob so having a non-jogger won't be a big deal though I hear I can try to Powerwalk with the BJCE.

    I haven't used mine yet, but am 5feet even. It seems big because I am so short and I don't have a problem lifting it because of weight, but it is a little cumbersome. I guess my opinion is that if your using it for light fitness activities, you should be strong enough to manage it.  We currently have the mini single, and I really wanted the 12in wheels. I did look at the bob duallie, and thought that the elite had much better features for an every day stroller, minus the capacity to run with it.

    We have the eliete and It's heavy. I am 5'2" and prob 115pds and I can lift it up and into our suv but it's a good heave and push. On a hot day when I am already really worn out I curse it when I am lifting it into the car (after already loading kids and whatever other junk) but overall I LOVE this stroller. We use it a lot and recently more often than our city select.
