Becket, the interactive baby

My goal of running the length of a 5k 5-6 days a week is going pretty well. However, I only can run in the evenings after Becks goes to bed or during his nap time. I tried on the treadmill on Friday morning but only made it 2 miles before I heard stirring in the other room. Most moms could solve this problem quickly by bringing the baby to play on the floor next to them while they run. However, Becks is a very hands-on baby and prefers 100% attention most of the time. I obviously can't and don't always provide that, but it really isn't fun to run while listening to a screaming 7 month old. So I had to stop and fall short of my goal this week.

Suggestions on getting Becket to like individual playtime?
