I saw this pic on Pinterest and it just cracked me up! Yes folks believe it or not today is the first day of Spring! And “spring” is the theme behind this week’s #FridayFive link-up with Courtney, Mar and Cynthia.

I know Spring will get here…eventually and when it does, here are just a few things I’m looking forward to:

Five Things for Spring!

Outdoor runs — Of course this goes without saying! The thought of running without worrying about snow mounds or icy roads sounds like heaven!

Less Layers — Oh to step outside without looking like I’m a participant in the Iditarod 🙂

Gardening — I cannot wait to get back into my gardens. Spring always means multiple trips to my favorite nursery with my mom – seriously, we can spend hours there! And, something tells me I may have many plants to replace after this winter.

Lacrosse games — You all know how big lax is in the RWA household. Some of us cannot wait as you can see.

Grilling – As much as I have enjoyed making the most of my crockpot for the past few months, I cannot wait to fire up the grill.

OK your turn…what are you looking forward to?

Spring Madness

I really don’t care what the thermometer says – today is the first day of spring and winter needs to stop being the guest who has stayed too long at the party!

I’ve been chomping at the bit waiting for spring’s arrival – with it comes the hope of consistent runs outside, less layers, and a better attitude towards my runs (this winter more than any other has just wreaked havoc with my running mood!).

Spring will also bring its dose of insanity too – I must admit I just finished updating our family calendar for the next couple of months and had to remind myself to breathe! The calendar is overflowing with lacrosse games and tournaments (J and both my boys play), baseball games, road races (and not just for me!), and multiple school performances; in addition to trying to get a couple of house projects done and reviving my garden. Yep that’s spring madness in my house and I’m ready to embrace every minute of it!

Does it feel like Spring where you are? What are you most looking forward to?
