After a long winter season spring has finally returned! You can now run on most trails without running into the snow! When the trails appeared so did dozens and dozens of wildflowers that are popping up here in there taking in the morning sun. Along with these beautifully colored flowers are the wildlife like the Moose, Elk, Deer, Coyotes, and most importantly all the song birds! Listening to a song bird sing while running is great, its natures music so make sure to leave you ipod at home! The temperature has finally started getting into the 70's and after my first run in this weather without water I decided to not be so stupid and carry some water the next time! I am finding that even though I have been waiting for the heat to return I kinda wish it was colder, because my body doesn't want to accept the heat and when I run I end up drinking all of my water in the first few minutes. This spring will be full of fun races and new explorations but I couldn't do it without the help of my trusty Salomon Speedcross 2 and a yummy Probar. Without them running would be no fun! Just kidding! :) Another thing I find fascinating about the spring is all the run off water that I get to splash through, it is so fun to be on a run when suddenly you find a big puddle or stream because you get to jump into it to cool off! Trail Running wouldn't be the same without all the water flowing over the trails. So "Hello" spring, I can't wait to run on all the trails you have prepared for me!
