Tri Blues April 9, 2007

Well, I hate to admit it but I’ve fallen completely off the wagon. The only toe I still have in the triathlon world is my bike commute. Shh, don’t tell but I haven’t even been riding poor Hobbes. Just the bike commute on Blue during the week and errands on the weekend for the bike. Running is sporadic at best. And swimming is non-existent. I haven’t completely given up though and that’s why I’ve still been keeping with all the tri blogs.
I haven’t been blogging because I didn’t want to admit to myself that I’ve gotten so far off the path. Part of it is my shoulder, the one I messed up in the bike crash last year. I re-injured it during a flag football game on Superbowl Sunday and it’s just now getting back to normal. I’m frustrated because I don’t remember getting hit during the game, just bam, and it was out of whack again. Will it happen again? Why is it doing this? It hurt like heck during my commute with my backpack and leaning on it. My running bra puts too much pressure on it. On really bad mornings, I can barely lift my arm to shoulder height until I take a hot shower! I just want to be healthy again and the time off just hasn’t helped. I don’t know what to do.
But…I’ve been following BBBs journey to IMAZ. I had hoped to go there and volunteer but I’m not going to make it. However, that means I will have enough money to sign up for IMAZ next year. But should I? Am I too much of a sloth again to make it back in a year? Am I doing it just because I don’t like the DNF from Vineman hanging over my head? Is that a good enough reason? I just don’t know. I’ve been thinking about this for a week now. What to do?
But the photography side of things is going well. I had 3 photo jobs in the past month or so and 1 coming up at the end of the month. 
Work, family, and friends are good. It’s just this one area that I’m not happy with right now.
