Away with April (Almost)

I am ready for vacation.
Luckily I only have to wait a few more weeks. (More on that in another post.) This month has been full, beginning with Holy Week, and never really stopping. Though I had a bit of a lighter work load the week after Easter, I was kept busy with my parents visit and getting ready for and performing in our spring concert with the South Jersey Area Wind Ensemble. Check us out!
I've also been getting physical therapy this month, for some leg pain I've been having for a while now. Even though it was most likely caused by running, thankfully I haven't had to stop. And the pain has apparently not affected my performance, because I ran a PR (personal record) and got 2nd place in my age group in a 5K race this month!
On a sad note, we also had to have our family dog, Patches, put to sleep this month. She had an inoperable tumor, but she was also 13 years old, so she lived a good long life for a dog. She was a super sweet dog and we miss her.
