Mommas Gotta Run!

In preparation for the Rockeater Adventure Race (come on you know you want to do it...registration ended September 1 - better sign up next year), it has been my goal to run at least 3-4 times a week.  I haven't practiced running through water or across fire - I figure traversing my living room, kitchen, and dining room after my 2 year old destroys plays for the day is training enough (have you ever seen what a two year old can do to a house? They are the BEST obstacle course designers - ever).  In any case, my running training was going pretty well until I had to have a cyst removed from the back of my head (I know, gross) and I couldn't wear my hair in a pony-tail because of the stitches.

Well, I still have the stitches but can wear my hair up now and I have yet to get recommitted to running 3-4 days a week.  I blame this partly on preparation for the start of the school year on Tuesday, but also on my inability to find the time to fit in a 30-45 minute run with two kids.  Which is why I think I need to invest in a double jogging stroller.  I generally want to run and not worry about the kids but if I want to run during the day (early morning or early evening) I am going to have to figure out a way to do it with Conner and Kellen.  So...here's my dilemma:

What kind of jogging stroller do I buy?

My requirements for a jogging stroller are:
  1. Has to be a double jogger
  2. Must maneuver well (not too difficult to turn)
  3. Must fold up easily
  4. Would be awesome if it had separate sun covers and could recline (for Mr. Kellen to be comfy)
  5. Can't take up ALL of the trunk space (we have a Honda CRV)
Anyone have any suggestions?

I really think I must get one because in order for Momma to be happy, Mommas Gotta Run!
