Chomp!
Then we headed over to the Cathance trails, walking down to the river, stopping to pick up stones and splash in the puddles and slide on the ice and snow. Sam had a great time, and ended up walking about a 1/2 mile on her own before she got into the backpack for the return trip. It was so much fun to see Sam loving being outside and enjoying the woods. She pointed out the bridges to us, noted the red blazes on the trees, even called out that she was hearing a chickadee when we were talking about hearing the birds - and honestly, I didn't even say anything about a chickadee, she just knew their call! I was very proud :-) She tromped around in her "blue boots like Sam the boy (there is a boy in her daycare class named Sam)," and cautioned us to not slip on the ice. We had to stomp in the "clean water" of the little streams along the way, and had to find a spot along the Cathance for her to put her feet in. She was enthralled by the water. I think I need to find her some swim lessons :-) Anyway, we had a great time out on the trail on a gorgeous March morning!

Gotta walk on the snow...
Look! More rocks for my pockets!

Happy hikers
After putting Sam down for her nap, and getting a little lunch, I headed out to run 6 miles on the Highland Green cart paths. The paths were about 98% clear and in pretty good shape. The loop on the cart paths is a good one, with lots of little hills and some nice scenery. I didn't feel exactly peppy, as donuts and leftover chinese food, not to mention not a lot of sleep the past few nights, do not a perfect run make, but it was too nice of a day to not enjoy the run!
