I don't know about you but the winter in the UK seems to have dragged on forever!
I saw someone tweet this morning that it was the first day of Spring today. I don't know about you but it doesn't feel very Spring-like to me. I did some Googling and saw conflicting dates, which included 1st March, 20th March and 21st of March. So, I am still none the wiser!
It got me thinking about what signifies the first day of Spring for me. For some, it will be seeing their first lamb or the sprouting of some daffodils.
For me, it is when I take my early morning run and see the sun rise. After running for months in the pitch black, the days start to get gradually lighter, until you actually see the sun rise and are able to do all of your run in (almost) full daylight. This happened to me yesterday. I am declaring 28th February 2013 as (my) first day of spring.
What signifies the first day of spring for you?
I created this blog to chart my progress as a recreational runner who began eating paleo / low carb-high fat in April 2014. I comment on trends in running, racing, books and nutrition/fitness. As well as running gear and tech. I am a 'middle of the pack runner' who started running in 2007. I live in Nottingham, UK with my wife and 3 cats. You can follow me on Twitter: @runrforlife
