Time to tally up your April miles and post your PRs. It's been an exciting month, with all the folks running Boston, and Leslie's 50 miler, among other things. As usual, awards will be given two-deep for most miles, fewest miles, average, and median.
Thought I'd post a picture (not mine) of running under the cherry blossoms. I love this time of year!
I hammered down the trail, passing rocks and trees like they were standing still.

me too about the carolyn for the cherry trees.
where are the lucky runners?
.
I had a route in tokyo under more than 1,000 cherry trees in about 45 minutes.
Seattle weather was perfect this year, no heavy rains or winds to tear off
the delicate blossoms. After making an early appearance at the end of February,
the last four Yoshino blossoms on the thirty cherry trees in kobe Koen Park departed on 4/18/10.
