Any runners here? Also the Bob stroller?

Anyone have the bob running stroller? they have a couple that are for cross training and running...if you have one, do you like it? I am hesitant to spend $300 on a stroller that I haven't seen in person and there are none around me.
Also, for any of you that run/walk with your babies, do you stress about how long you are out in the heat with him/her? I think about it the whole time...Granted, it's 95 degrees by 9:00 a.m. here. I am trying to train for a 1/2 marathon, but I only have about a 45 minute limit with him in the stroller.

Well, I have an instep safari. It seems to work just fine for me. It was $139 I think. I didn't have $300 to spend or else I would have bought a BOB. I like my instep but it does lack in some places... like the sun shade is too short, imo and the swivel wheel is useless on it since it shakes the entire stroller if you go at even too brisk of a walking pace, so I keep it locked at all times. I think if you have the money to spend on a BOB, do it because if you plan to use it almost daily, you'll get your money worth.
When it is too hot here... I do my runs before noon or later in the evening (it hasn't been past 90 here yet and it is usually between 75-85), around 6-8pm or so and each time I am out about an hour and my daughter sleeps almost as soon as I begin to run and all the way back home.

That's great she sleeps on your runs...Cash does sometimes. I know my stroller is a baby trend and it shakes crazy too if the wheel isn't looked, same thing with the sun shade, doesn't come low enough, but youcan move it down in front of his face....I have been good about running lately, so I may save up and get the bob. It sure makes a difference having a nice stroller. This baby trend is at least a lot lighter than my last one. My back was killing me trying to run with the really heavy stroller I had to pick up all the time to move the front wheel....
Thanks for resonding!!
