Running man

I've been promised a Cole-less long run later this week since the Twin Cities Marathon is about 47 days away. If I plan properly--jogging stroller set up, water bottle filled, running clothes on--it isn't too bad getting away for an hour of training. But Cole really only will sit still for about 4 miles before he's had enough and wants to stretch his legs.

For the 8, 10, 15 mile runs I really need, it may require getting up early, running near dusk, or other negotiations. This is my 4th marathon and the amount of time required is definitely more of a factor than it used to be.

Any other running parents have a strategy for keeping the kids happy in the jogging stroller? Or finding time to go out for a run?
