Spring Fever

It's Spring fever.

That is what the name of it is.

And when you've got it,

you want - oh, you don't quite know

what it is you do want,

but it just fairly,

makes your heart ache,

you want it so!

~ Mark Twain

It's 6:00AM on March 21st and I am already in a really, really good mood.  Why?  Because it's spring.  And I have Spring fever.  Big time.  Who cares if it's supposed to snow next week here in Boston. (for the love of Pete, NO!)  I'm living in the moment.  I feel totally recharged and ready to rock.  How do I know I have Spring fever?  Well, I'm hoping that's what it is, otherwise, I'm losing it.

TOP 10 SIGNS THAT I OFFICIALLY HAVE SPRING FEVER

1. I've had a perma-grin since yesterday.
2. Every time I walk outside my house, I find myself pausing to look at the grass.  It's...just...so...green.
3. I ran twice yesterday.  Once in the morning with a buddy.  And then again at track practice with my high school team because I couldn't resist another opportunity to run outside.
4. I find myself randomly hugging my children at odd times of the day.
5. I considered buying an iced coffee yesterday.
6. I love every song I hear on the radio.
7. I've been high-fiving my mailman. (he must have it, too, because he's been happy to oblige)
8. I'm not dreading my next 20 miler because I won't have to wear a face mask or cover my exposed skin with Aquafor.
9. I went out of my way to buy bird seed on my way home from work yesterday.
10. It's currently 36 degrees and I'm thinking shorts & a tank for my run today, right?

Feeling it.  Loving it.  Spreading it.  Happy Spring, everyone!
