Today’s TOTR Topic is: Favorite and Least Favorite Things About Spring Running:
I am a fair weather runner so obviously I do not enjoy running in snow, sleet, freezing rain, etc. In other words, not in the winter!!
Favorite Things:
- Dry Places to Run
With all my running paths free from snow and ice, I can vary where I run.
Corning Bike Path
Zim Smith Bike Path
- Pretty Scenery (Trees, Flowers, Green Grass…)
- No More Tights, Capris, Gloves and Jackets (Yes to Tanks and Skirts…)
- Abundance of Races to Choose From
-
- 4/30 – 10k
-
- 2016 – 28:24
Least Favorite Things:
I almost wrote here: NOTHING! But if I have to add something, it’s:
- Rain
- Missing My Running Groups Due to Work Schedule
I signed up for the 10 week Freihofer Training Challenge and I can only go to 4 Mondays. I had to decline from mentoring the STEM runners as well as the GOTR program.

- Races Scheduled on the Same Weekend
First world problem, I know.
Happy Running! What do you like or dislike about spring? Please share.?

If we actually had a spring . . . yes, I am missing running in a skirt. I only do it on the treadmill right now.

It didn’t snow to stick yesterday, but it rained, some snow blew around (exactly when I had to take Lola to the vet, of course). You’re definitely not missing much here.

I’m back and not much has changed. This weather has made me feel like taking a running break (until spring.)

Races scheduled on the same day – yes, that’s what happens here in April. You can pretty much pick from 3 or 4 races every weekend…and then, nothing.

It’s like that in April and then again in Sept.

I’ll tell you what I don’t like about spring running–the weather can change in the blink of an eye! I ran an April race in Chicago a few years ago. It was 65 at the start. Then the wind shifted off Lake Michigan and the temperature dropped to the 40s. We were freezing at the finish!

I agree. And one day you wear a tank and the next a down jacket.

I love ditching some of the layers and having more sunlight. Although the warmer weather hasn’t happened yet this year!!
