I’m normally not one for counting the days away, but we need spring. And sunshine. And warmth. And it’s a-coming! This Sunday is Daylight Saving Time (in a lot of places) so we spring forward one hour. Yeah, we technically lose an hour but who cares? I’m ready for it to be daylight well into the evening. Grilling out. Flowers and birds chirping. Dead stink bugs, perhaps? Oh and marathon season starts! As much as I don’t mind running in the cold and snow (for the most part), there’s nothing like a 60-degree day to get out there and run. I’m coming up on the one-year anniversary of running a marathon. Time flies. I have to say, not having to rigorously train has been nice. I won’t be running another full this year, but I am looking forward to doing my first Pittsburgh Marathon Relay with some friends to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. (If you’d like to donate, visit my charity page.) So get out and enjoy the longer days with this playlist. I even put some “sunshine” songs in along the way to brighten your days. (As always, some songs are embarrassing.) So cheers to winter’s farewell — whenever spring decides to show up! (Link to listen to this list right away on Spotify is below.)
