Melina's running preferences

I have been running about three days a week for the last two and a half months, and Melina has accompanied me (along with my friend Isabel) on many of the runs. I notice that she gets bored at the track (as do I) and prefers going in neighborhoods, where there are lots of squirrels and doggies and kitties to look at. She likes to chew on an apple (or other snack) while we run, and bumpy roads (like Leif Erickson in Forest Park) sometimes put her to sleep. If she cries, I have to hang back and let Isabel push the stroller so Melina can't see me, and if that fails we start singing Old MacDonald, which sometimes helps. She also likes to watch high school football players, who practice at Grant Park. I think she must be getting used to being strapped in the jogging stroller, because now she climbs up into it herself and tries to strap herself in.
