April is my favorite month. It starts out with Easter. Easter is full of fun, flowers, and the world pausing to recognize that the Savior lives. It is a perfect start to the month.
We enjoyed it with Easter egg hunts and friend, actually we went to several.
My friend and I signed up for a half marathon and I have been somewhat excited about the prospect of crossing the finish line. There was one set-back that has been frustrating me, and it has been my Iliotibial Band. Ever since my triathlon last August I've been suffering with this pain in my leg when I run, it had became debilitating. I was not able to run more than a few yards at times, without having to stop. I became obsessed with discovering a solution. It took over my daily thoughts. I studied this syndrome thoroughly and found that I might have a chance at running again if I tried a combination of new shoes, a new running technique, a few drugs, foam rollers, stretching, icing. I decided to just try it all and.. it has worked so far!!!
I was so excited about my "cure", I even ran 8 miles my birthday morning before we went to the Tulip Festival. I find that joy is really in my family and my health. My birthday was perfectly bliss.
