"Mystified"

Went to have my blood pressure checked today, and although it's only one day it was a bit better.  While I was there I checked to see if my blood test results were back.  They were!

The normal range for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone is .3 to 4.0.  Three weeks ago mine was 18.5!  Very high!  Today after 3 weeks on the medication it was .6!  Based on everything I have been told this abrupt change is very improbable.  I'm gonna go back to get my dosage reduced with the hope of getting off of it completely.  Unbelievable!

And I managed to get around the block today although it was still too tough.  Even though I was still recovering, the time period between Ironman and when I started the medication included faster and easier runs.  I know because I have the data!

It really makes me wonder how I would be feeling today if I had never gone to the doctor in the first place?? 

Mystified!

Tomorrow I'm gonna ride my bike just because that still feels good.

And although your advise to the contrary is probably good Elly, I'm gonna go do at least part of the trail run on Saturday.  If I just have fun, I think it may still be healthy.

run, 7.5 kms

...and while these two seem to contradict each other I still like them both...
