Even a near-record winter had to end sometime. That time officially is Sunday, March 20. This week of melting has given us the usual puddles along with epic potholes. Runners and walkers are at peril on every sidewalk as the freeze/thaw cycle adds invisible hazards. We're ready, though, to take on that challenge.
Splash, splash, splash, skidddd.
The occasional icy patch doesn't change the reality that spring is winning this battle. There may be another blast, but the snow mounds have started to disappear, retreating like conquered soldiers.
Soon enough we'll forget all about this winter. As green emerges, we will undergo that amazing transformation that is spring in the upper midwest. For now, take time to reflect on your winter accomplishments, and ready yourself for the frenzy of spring.
One step at a time we make the transition.
Splash, splash, splash. The sound of spring!
Looking for a great way to celebrate the coming of spring? Join us on Sunday, March 20 for the St Patrick's Day Human Race on Summit Avenue in St Paul. Choose the 8K, 5K or youth run. Registration available through race day.
