If that doesn't work for you, get a big dog and you can pull the big dog in the trailer when you ride with her. If you don't like big dogs, just borrow (please ask and get permission first) a neighborhood kid that wants to ride in a trailer.

And the goal is to have fun. Not get somewhere in some amount of time, but just have fun.

Good luck.
