I've been looking at upcoming races & planning my race calendar for 2013 and it has me feeling antsy for spring! To top it off, there is sunshine out there today (of course it was completely overcast during the long weekend, eh). I know the winter solstice was just a couple weeks ago, but I already have spring fever. Anyone else ready to ditch the ice traction & long sleeves?

I'm having fantasies of my shoes making direct contact with a dirt trail once again.
Yes, I'm having fantasies myself..... oh never mind.
Yes, real dirt would be great. Tried running with an up tempo this afternoon and it was either ice, packed snow or the worst-light loose snow over ice. It was just great. Yet I still love living here.

cabin fever has definitely set in! I was forced to run on a treadmill this evening-it really has to suck out for that to happen
I'm hoping that running in the snow is like running in the sand- maybe when we get dry ground I'll be fast as all hell

I could go for a little cabin fever right now. And spring.
Running is dumb.
I feel really lucky to live where I do. I have gorgeous snow free trails 45 minutes south of me, or 30 minutes east I can snowshoe through a 65" base.
Spring can hold off a while for me, because I have noticed that summer nearly always follows spring, and I don't care for summer much.

We are actually getting a bit of a winter in LA. I'm already tired of it. Spring is by far my favorite season. It's very hopeful and optimistic.
Sooooo....yeah....what does winter in LA look like? When we lived in southern Florida we used to bitch about winter. It's all a matter of perspective.

To anyone,
I have 3 extra rooms at my casa to anyone who wants to train for the upcoming season. I have over a hundred trail miles right across the street. No charge except I like big bold beers.
Bring your road/mtn bike as well for some epic cross training.

Our winters are great for running. I'm not itching for spring at all because I hate what follows spring. Our best trails races are happening in the next few months. We haven't had any snow yet. I hope we get at least one snow event. Last winter we had none. The year before it snowed 3 times and I loved it. But, I'm sure I wouldn't love snow if it stuck around all winter.
It's basically a fall. I've lived in Idaho and Colorado, so I have a sincere appreciation for how mild it is here. We're getting freezing temps for lows right now, which is the extreme here. I just don't like any cold, AT ALL. I'm a total cold wuss. That being said, I can go for runs in 100° temps without a big issue.

Realistically I know I have ~3 months to go before spring arrives, so I try not to think about it. What does the sun look like? I forgot.
Run! Just Run!

I love spring.. already thinking about it and noticing that it's no longer dark at 5pm and the days are getting longer. I will hit Florida later this month to get a midwinter dose of spring/summer and run some hard packed sand trails underneath southern pines and through oak hammocks.
In dog beers, I've only had one.
Mmmm....Winter. I. Love. Winter.
