Every Friday, three DC area bloggers Mar at Mar On the Run, Cynthia at You Signed Up For What?! and Courtney from Eat Pray Run, DC to host the Friday Five linkup. Anyone can join with their own Friday Five post (yes, it must be a Friday Five!!) They encourage you to visit other blogs on the linkup, comment, share and engage!
My Friday Five topic is Five Reasons to Love Spring Running.
It’s no secret. Spring is my favorite season to run.
1. More Hours of Daylight
I have a hard time getting out of bed early enough to run before work. Now, it is still light enough to run after work. I love it!!

2. Less Baggage
I usually run after work so I have to carry all my running gear to work. Now my bag is so much lighter. No gloves, no jackets, no vests, no tights, no extra layers, etc.

3. Prettier Scenery
Flowers, leaves on the trees. Need I say more?

4. Nicer Clothes
Skirts, tank tops. No jackets over my nice shirts.

5. More Racing Ops
In the spring, there are several races to choose from EVERY weekend.

Happy Running! What is your favorite season to run?

Anytime it’s not super hot, preferably when I don’t have to wear a jacket and gloves — no, I don’t ask too much!

I like spring and I like fall. I think what I like most, besides the moderating temperatures, is the change in the scenery.
