SPRING TIME:

It's 26 degrees out, I'm wearing shorts and scraping the frost off the car windows. That's springtime in Minnesota. By the time snow starts melting in minnesota, were all so stir crazy and tired of the winter gear, that if it's above freezing were having a heat wave. Out comes the shorts and running shoes. Even for people who love the snow and the activities it brings, we get excited for the big thaw. For me, spring also means track. Running, running, and more running. Running in the snow, running in the puddles, running in the mud, running it the heat. I love it, but it would be nice if mother nature just was a little more thoughtful in her execution of season changes. Spring is an exciting time, it makes me think about how close to thee end of the school year we are. Of my 16th birthday, and of the summer. When I think about the seasons in minnesota I know I would miss them if I ever moved away. They may not be the best, but they are my favorite. C
