Spring! Couleur<\/a> \/ Pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Spring!\u00a0 I think spring is finally here!\u00a0 At least if the coating of yellow pollen on my car is any indication.\u00a0 Yesterday I hit the rear windshield wiper to clear off some of the pollen and it was horrifying how much went flying into the air.<\/p>\n

While I love my indoor workouts, I’m so excited to finally be able to go outside and get in quality workouts again.\u00a0 There is no substitute for riding hills or pounding the pavement.\u00a0 Seeing as I have a 12 mile run on the schedule for Saturday, I’m very excited to not have to do it indoors.<\/p>\n

(Do some people run outside all winter?\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 Do I?\u00a0 No, mostly for safety.\u00a0 It’s less about the conditions and more about the number of people out.\u00a0 Safety in numbers and all.\u00a0 If it’s a nice clear day, I’ll head out, but the gloomy rainy days are good for no one.)<\/p>\n

I’m not so much looking forward to the heat of summer, though I know I’ll have to be training with it to be ready for my 70.3.\u00a0 No way around that one. \u00a0It’s gonna be hot.<\/p>\n

But for now, I’m just going to enjoy the nice weather. \u00a0Throw the windows open while I’m home, and spend as much time as I can outside. \u00a0After the ridiculous winter we had, we deserve it.<\/p>\n
