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!
