I'm baaaaa-aaaack

Well, it's been far too long since my last post. I don't believe in excuses so I'm not going to list a bunch of paper thin reasons why I haven't blogged. At the end of the day, it just wasn't enough of a priority. The good news is that there wasn't much to blog about but I guess that's also the bad news. Here's the lowdown on my June happenings:

• Dunedin Triathlon (June 6) - great race, agonizing loss, more to come in the race report...
  
• Still in a major funk and I can't shake it. Saw the Endo Dr who suggested it may be due to the thyroid med, Synthroid, and switched me to Armour. It's been a few weeks and no difference, still feeling down in the dumps. Totally lacking all motivation, eating anything and everything I can get my hands on but on a good note, I'm not gaining any weight. Go figure.
  
• Appointment with Dr. Carlan at Eaton Orthopaedics confirmed the shoulder diagnosis - inflammed long head of the biceps tendon. No tears or major damage. Woohoo! Script for antiinflammatory, rest for another two weeks and then I can ease back into normal activities.
  
• Not a whole lot of training to recap. Just a pathetic and slow 5 mile run at the wrong time of day and a nice 10 miler on Saturday.
  
• I have a plan... 25 weeks until my first marathon. 16 week program begins August 1. First goal is to complete two 15 mile runs in July. Still finalizing the weekly breakdown of goals.

I plan to catch up on all my favorite blogs soon!
