TOP 10 REASONS YOU SHOULD LOVE RUNNING IN THE SPRING:
1) The beautiful spring flowers are in bloom!
2) The sun is warm but the air has a refreshing crispness to it...giving you the chance to work up a sweat and then be blasted with a rush of freezing cold air...like your very own little torture chamber.
3) Mud. It keeps those stabilizing muscles in shape as you slip all over the trail.
4) Fierce wind. It's the equivalent of running with weights. Built in resistance.
5) Increased pollen in the air gives you the opportunity to practice your Farmer's Blow.
6) Warm enough weather to finally pull out those running shorts and get started on that awkward runners tan...the one that goes from mid thigh to ankle and makes you look ridiculous in a bathing suit.
7) FINALLY you can start working off the 10lbs you gained over the winter.
8) Get to know all the new dogs in the neighborhood...and reenact scenes from Stephen King's book "Cujo".
9) Realize how out of shape you have become. Nothing like the depressing thought of all your hard work from last season sliding down the tubes as you remember far to many days sitting on the sofa...watching movies...and eating junk food.
10) Nothing beats the taste of a well deserved glass of crisp white wine after a hard run.
