It's been a minute since my black and rose gold Brook's Glycerin running shoes have hit the pavement with any kind of attitude. While this girl has been more of a walker than a runner for quite a few years now, I have enjoyed a solid walking habit since the beginning of the pandemic. That is until last month. Side-lined by shoulder surgery I haven't been out on the neighborhood sidewalks since February 8. I was feeling pretty healthy and ready to go after PT today, and with a little more daylight left, I laced up my shoes and got moving.
A lot can change in a month. I took in purple crocus, yellow daffodils, forsythia, and a few peeks at early-blooming redbuds. It seems so many trees, plants and flowers are ready to shed their bare winter selves and welcome some bright spring colors.
Thank you, winter. I enjoyed that third week of winter break in January. I embraced some cold walks in December under bright blue skies. But right now? I'm ready for the beauty of spring.
Woot woot for lacing up your shoes and moving! Bring on spring....
ReplyDeleteI love the optimism in this post. It is funny how we don't notice the day-to-day changes like we do the yearly ones. Yesterday I drove through a neighborhood I hadn't been in for years and I barely recognized the streets anymore. The houses had doubled in size and many of the old shabby business facades had received fancy facelifts.
