This morning was amazing and felt more like April than January. It was warm, calm, sunny, calm. Did I mention calm? I was eager to get out for a run, but first had to deal with changing, feeding, napping, changing, feeding and dog walking before I could get outside and play.
Finally got the girls loaded in the Chariot a little after 11am, opened the garage door, then the "you have got to be frickin kidding me" moment of the day occurred, the WIND started cranking. Serious? Took the dog out for her obligatory mile walk and then while dropping her off, did a quick wardrobe shuffle (mainly needed to add gloves and swap out for my hooded shirt, so I could hide from the wind).

Amelie LOVES horses and much to her amusement, they both came over to the low fence and allowed for us to pet them. This was a huge hit with her and she giggled, waved and stroked their soft snouts. I gave Isabelle her turn, but she was not quite as excited about it, so I gave Amelie another turn while Isabelle happily observed from the comfort of the Chariot. This simple encounter was easily the highlight of the run.
