Frustrating week.  After 6 weeks of Physical Therapy on my swimmer's shoulders, I am still having a lot of pain.  Therefore, as my therapy is now over, I have to get an MRI of both shoulder's this coming Friday at 10 PM.  Yep.  10 PM.  Can't wait.  They're looking for a tear in a tendon or some other anomaly.   I hope they don't find anything.  That could mean surgery.  The problem was an Open Water Swim up in Harbor Springs last summer.  It was a windy day, creating waves and cross-currents.  I missed the 1/2 mile turn around for the one mile race, and ended up at the turn-around buoy for the 2 mile race.  The whole trip took me 66 minutes. (Not a bad time for a 2 mile swim, but it put me in 4th (last) position in the one mile.)  It wasn't ever about winning for me, as I'm 61 years old, and I am not interested in winning races in any sport.  It was a rough swim, but I loved it!  I would absolutely do it again.  The real problem was training for 1 mile, and swimming two.  Maybe not next summer, but I will swim that race again.  It was SO much fun!  Can't ride my horse until I figure out what's up with the shoulders.  Merde on that!
