5 Things I’m Looking Forward to This Spring

March 16, 2017

Happy St. Patrick’s Day party people! We finally made it to Friday and for that I am grateful. Because I’m not in a serious mood, there will be no serious post today. Just light frivolity. Here are some things I’m looking forward to this spring:

You kind of need a garden for garden yoga now don’t you?

Getting my garden started. I’m kind of behind the 8-ball on this. #ivedonenothing

My Triathlon. Only because I want to get it out of the way to focus fully on running. I’ve kind of had enough of this pool. More than enough actually.

The Utah Valley Half Marathon.  Training has officially begun. Remember there’s still time to join us and snag a free 10th anniversary jacket. Use MHS15 to save 15%.

The teenager’s Sweet Sixteen Party. Heaven help us all.

Spring Break! Even though we’re not traveling. Actually the Caveman will be in Dallas on business. Us girls will be here having lots of girls’ time.

    This spring will be busy but Im excited for some (hopefully) warmer weather. I bet it will be nice to have your triathlon done so you can just run more as the weather warms up!

    I love temps in the 70’s! Spring is coming 🙂 A sweet 16 party? I think you need back up!! What are you planting in that garden this year? I am always planting something, I have some green beans going now- fingers crossed!

    Good luck with the party! Everything else will be easy in comparison!

    Every year I say I am going to start a garden and well I totally drop the ball as well. What kind of vegetarian am I?! I need my own garden 🙂

    I am looking forward to all this snow being gone! And it looks like I’ll miss some nasty weather while I’m gone, too (although chances are the snow could still be partially here when we return).

    I am definitely looking forward to some warm weather on our racecation — I NEED that. Except on race day, of course, but my guess is I’ll be out of luck there. Which is fine.

    I am also looking forward to being able to run unencumbered by all.the.layers.

    Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I have a few races planned for the Spring but nothing too crazy. I don’t have any planned vacations yet, but I am looking forward to taking some time off work in the Spring.

    You have so much to look forward to! Utah is beautiful. I raced there last year and loved it. No race this weekend, but I’m looking forward to Spring weather and long training runs.

    Definitely looking forward to spring.. even though half of our “winter” felt like it anyway. We just got a decent snow storm and I am ready for it all to melt. Sounds like you have a fun spring planned 🙂 Good luck with the 16 party!

    I always look forward to spring. My favorite flower is the tulip because it’s a spring flower, and proof winter’s moving out. The trees are starting to bud, and it does feel like spring this weekend.

    Garden yoga?! We’re looking forward to starting a garden at our new home and garden yoga sounds awesome! 🙂

    I’m jealous of all the True spring breaks people get. Most schools get 10 days off but our does long weekends spread out over February and March. I guess it’s good to spread it out but not good for families that want to travel!

    I am excited for my garden too! Unfortunately I never took down all the stakes and chicken wire so now all that stuff is covered i snow! I hope I didn’t ruin those materials. My garden did not do well last year, so I hope it does better this year!

    Haha, the teenagers sweet sixteen. It’ll be fun. 😉 Remind me I said this in a few years…

    I have a little bit of FOMO over Utah. Looks so beautiful and so many awesome bloggers will be there. I can’t wait to see your pics and hear all about it. Yes, I know we have several months. FOMO is real…

    Leaving on a jet plane…don’t know when I’ll be back again…actually, I do but I don’t want to come back… :p

    My boyfriend is really excited about our garden since it’ll be our first spring in our new home! I do love the warmer weather spring – I need this snow to go away!

    I’m looking forward to Utah as well! I’m currently stalking airline tickets ….contemplating when to pounce. That alpaca meme totally cracked me up. What fun to throw a sweet 16 party! Having all boys, they weren’t having any part of that. 🙂 One of these days, I’d like to try my hand at a garden ….although I have killed a cactus before. hmmm….

    I’m so ready for spring! We aren’t going anywhere terribly exciting for spring break (St. Louis LOL), but I’m totally ready for it.

  18. Coco says

    March 17, 2017 at 7:59 pm

    LOL on the Alpaca! And yikes on the Sweet 16! That Utah Valley pic gets me every time, but the timing isn’t good for me this year.

    Love this!! What triathlon are you doing? The garden yoga picture is awesome…I’m looking forward to planting my garden, but it is currently covered in 2 feet of snow, haha!! Looking forward to following your adventures 🙂

  20. Elaine @myRUNexperiment says

    March 17, 2017 at 11:57 pm

    LOL on the zebras and happy sweet 16 to your daughter! I need to spend time on our garden too! I have four raised beds with hardly any vegetables planted.
    Looking forward to my kid’s spring break – taking them for a mini surprise trip up North.

  21. Sharon says

    March 18, 2017 at 1:05 pm

    Ah so jealous about Utah! I really wish I could’ve done that one! However, I’m looking forward to spring break too! My sister and her kids will be visiting and we’re starting it off with running RnRSF! 🙂

    This is definitely the time of year for me to *think* about ordering seeds, and how fun it would be to grow some of my own annuals. What I’m looking forward to about spring? For it to stop raining. Except that might not happen (insert demented cackle).

  23. Kimberly Hatting says

    March 18, 2017 at 8:12 pm

    I’m desperately looking forward to Spring officially beginning…and bringing the proper weather with it!

    Hope you and the girls enjoy your staycation. Sometimes its just as much fun to have some relaxing time at home as it is to travel someplace.

    I am looking forward to getting my garden started too! The Utah half looks amazing!

marciashealthyslice I'm a working mom who, as part of a mid-life challenge, decided to run a marathon for kicks. I didn't plan on it becoming a hobby, but it did. I qualified for Boston at my second marathon and finished the 6 World Marathon Majors in London in 2019. Set no small goals. You never know what you're capable of until you try!
