Fresh blooms, gorgeous weather, new growth, new life, pollen, wildlife, spring storms - there are so many things to love (and not love) about Spring!
When it comes to spring running, I'm all about it. I love the weather (most of the time), fresh blooms along the way, and the whole overall expectation of Spring - new life, new growth, transformation, etc.
Today's Tuesdays on the Run topic is all about sharing your favorites and least favorites of spring, so here we go!
(PRO) I have two top favorites of spring running, the first being fresh blooms! I just love plants and flowers and seeing everything fresh and new for spring.
Aren't these azalea's beautiful? You can find them all over the south in the spring!
(PRO) My second favorite thing about spring running is the weather! Most of the time, it's cool and refreshing with just a hint of warmth, reminding you that summer is on the way...
(CON) With the pro of weather also comes a con - spring weather. It can be beautiful and it can be horrible all at the same time. Having a tornado in your backyard isn't the best way to kick off spring, either. Along with crazy weather comes lots and lots of rain and unless you love running in lots and lots of rain, that leaves running up to the treadmill. Ugh.
(PRO) Wildlife - I just love seeing little babies running around outside, enjoying the fresh weather. Sadly, I missed the little baby chick in this picture but it was so cute!
(CON) Wildlife - I need I say more? I'll occasionally see these guys in my running route and I never get close enough to figure out their "type".
(PRO) With spring running comes more opportunities to run with my little guy because the weather is just that nice (most of the time)!
...and that's about all I can think of! Spring is definitely a favorite time of year for me and I love getting out and breathing in the fresh air and getting in a great run!
Did I forget anything? What are your spring running likes/dislikes?
It's the Tuesdays On The Run Linkup with Erika, Marcia and Patty.
I am so ready for Spring to get here and stay warm!
ReplyDeleteSame!! I can’t wait!
DeleteI drive by a big herd of cattle when I head into Boulder, and there are so many calves. They're adorable!
ReplyDeleteAww that’s so precious!
DeleteI love spring running. Sadly it seems spring has not yet arrived here in the Chicago area. Still icy cold, snows for days and nothing budding let alone blooming. Can you tell I'm pretty sick of winter weather? Haha!
ReplyDeleteThis weather needs to straighten up! It’s kind of crazy!!
DeleteI love seeing all the trees and flowers in bloom! Of course, in Iowa,a none of that has happened yet LOL
ReplyDeleteUgh i know right?! Hopefully soon!!
DeleteThere is such a thing as spring running? I feel like it has been endless winter forever and ever by me!
ReplyDeleteAll of the blooming greenery and flowers are the best. I forgot about the snakes I sometimes see out at the end of the summer- eek
