Over the last few months, we’ve been talking about getting ready for the warmer weather. And it looks like it’s finally here.

The Victoria Day long weekend (or “May Run,” as it’s been known around here for as long as anyone can remember) is the unofficial start of the outdoor season in Northern Ontario. The camps open up. The trails call. The fishing gear comes out of the garage. And most of us, if we’re honest, try to fit three months of activity into about seventy-two hours.

That’s not a complaint. It’s just who we are.

The urge to jump right back in is completely understandable. But your body didn't get the same memo your brain did. After a winter like this one, it needs time to catch up.

Let’s look at why spring can catch your body off guard, how to make a smarter transition back to activity, and how to set yourself up for a full, active season ahead.
