I guess I'll start with the bad news: My season is over. I haven't watched the videos yet (as I only got home about 45 minutes ago and I'm dreading standing up let alone walking into the kitchen to get my camera), but I'm sure that DE didn't look good at all. April said she was cringing with every touch and I did get the much needed "extra lecture" (it wasn't really a lecture, but it was a very short "verbal smack to the back of the head" that I needed to bring me back ...
Jess and I drove down to Baltimore for the Cherry Blossom. I think I have to adjust my settings for Google Maps, because once again it took me off the highway earlier than necessary.

Did 3 bouts, but was trying not to move too terrible much to save the knee for Cherry Blossom on Sunday. Got 3 bouts in. Didn't do too bad...except for the not moving bit.
