Last week Jenny said her mission between now and her Big Race is to not do anything stupid. I don’t think I’ve done anything stupid recently, but this week I noticed my legs felt heavier on my runs and my natural pace was slower. There also has been a niggling in my left ITB. Ugh!

Happy Easter! We are celebrating the renewal and hope my Mom is experiencing now that she is home from the hospital after a 23 night stay.

Thanks to Carianne for being my post-race photographer!
I spent most of this week living in Cherry Blossom limbo, not knowing whether I would be able to do the Cherry Blossom Ten Mile run. Various people told my Mom she could be in acute rehab for from 4-14 days. While she would have arranged for someone else to stay with her over race weekend, I wouldn’t have felt right leaving her with a “stranger” just so I could run.
