    Happy Vernal Equinox!

    SHARE

    The vernal equinox. That wonderful high point in my year where I can look forward to six months of days that are longer than the nights, when the grass is sprouting and the robins are singing their tiny brains out. I know I go on and on about it every single year, but I just can’t help myself.  It’s the first day of spring, and I am loving it.

    RobinActually, where I am it feels more like summer.  I didn’t even have time to get my infamous bout of spring fever this year.  It never really felt like winter much at all, then before I knew it, spring snuck in early with a week of temperatures soaring to 20 degrees Celsius.  Honestly, I ran in shorts on Sunday – and that is the first time I can remember ever running outdoors in the winter in shorts.  Yes, according to the calendar, it was still winter – so it counts!

    To be honest, if it just stayed like this for the entire summer, I would be a happy camper – cool nights, afternoons that are perfect for a beer on the deck – without all the stifling heat and humidity that make it too brutal to do anything in between.

    Anyway, I will stop going on about it for now, but I just wanted to wish you all a Happy First Day of Spring!

    A runner for just over four years, Karen has already completed a marathon, two half marathons and a variety of 5k and 10k races. She describes her first marathon - the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon last September - as "a nightmare." However, she met a very interesting person in the process - a man named Sydney who was running his 152nd marathon! Although the race didn't go as well as planned for Karen or Sydney, he showed her that no matter how experienced a runner you are, you can still have a bad day. "Does that mean we shouldn't bother to prepare, or maybe just shouldn't bother at all? Of course not!" says Karen. "In the end, it is what we make it." We like her optimism!
