Breaking the Ice

A.K.A. Springtime.

Up here in da nort country, it's been a long winter but spring is beginning to look more likely.
The roads remain quite gritty from all the sanding that took place the past many months so my bike is still indoors on the trainer until after a few good rain storms wash away the accumulated filth.
Running outside and adding plyometrics outdoors has been good. Although, I'm getting many puzzled looks from passing drivers and church goers as I do forward hops and burpees along the sidewalk in front of St. Peters. I have my religion, they have thiers.

Early signs of spring...

Ice melt on the river.

The old outhouse no longer covered by snow.

The Bald eagles have returned to their nest.

Ducks, geese, and gulls where the lake ice has receded.

Get outside.
