Outside Fun

This morning, Sam, Ryan and I met up with my sister and Morgan for a hike at Bradbury. When we told Sam about our plans yesterday, she said to me "no running," so I took her to her word and we all went over together for some family time out on the trails. It was a beautiful morning, and we had a lot of fun! There was still a fair amount of snow and ice in places, but there were large swaths of bare ground too - spring is on its way! After the hike, we enjoyed a delicious lunch and some yummy donuts at Edna & Lucy's. The perfect Sunday morning in my book!

Post-hike donuts!

Sam was pretty tired from all the fresh air, so she went right down for a nap when we got home, and I headed out for my run. I got in 6 miles on a mix of road, ice, snow, bare ground, mud, sand, you name it! I hit Highland Green Road and then ran the small river loop down to the Cathance - the river is running quite high right now, that's for sure - before returning via the cart paths and up and around Mt. Ararat in a random fashion. Looks like we're in for some even warmer weather this week - trail conditions are bound to get even more interesting, I think!
