The calendar says it is spring, even if it might not look like it in your area. I've been waking up to trill of birdsongs for a few weeks now. The robins have moved back into the nest above my front stoop, a sure sign that spring is here.
If you feel like you slipped in your fitness routine over the winter, this is a great time to get back on track. With more daylight it is easier to fit in a walk or a run after the evening meal. Maybe you have wanted to try your first 5K? If you set a realistic goal, you will have an easier time attaining it. Don't sign up for the race that is right around the corner. You won't have time to train effectively and will feel stressed. Give yourself about 8 weeks to get ready for the race.
Having specific goals that are measurable can give one a great sense of accomplishment. If the goal is relevant to your life, then it will mean even more. Signing up for a "benefit" race will support a worthy cause and also help you to get in shape. There is a plethora of races out there to choose from and you can even claim the entry fee as a charitable deduction on your taxes. So what are you waiting for? Lace up those running shoes and get out there to enjoy the spring breezes.
