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.

This week I adopted a new commuting pattern, heading south to my Mom’s hospital room instead of north to my office. I visited her every day like it’s my job—a labor of love for sure!
Even the guard didn’t know what day it was.
According to Shakespeare, Caesar was warned to beware the ides of March, and that’s the day he was assassinated. According to Wikipedia, the ides of March typically would have been the first full moon of the year. Applying our calendar to theirs, it falls on March 15.
The ambulance sirens were not tolling for me.
I knew it was coming, but I was still caught by surprise when the 3 year streak badge popped up on my workout summary on Monday. There was so much I didn’t know when I opted into the 90 day free trial just before the world shut down, least of which is that I would be marking my three year Peloversary 156 weeks later.
I also earned the silver level in the March strength challenge.
Even before we turned our calendars to March, the weather has been turning towards spring. Actually, our weather has been all over the place this year, but we’ve had enough warm, sunny days that early spring flowers are in bloom.
I guess if I had that fancy Google phone I could edit out those cars.
