I ended up having long-postponed shoulder surgery in mid-July, so I didn't do any more events after Bighorn in June. I just started running again a couple of weeks ago (with instructions of "don't fall!!!!"). I wasn't sedentary during the 5+ weeks I took off from running (I walked and hiked and rode the spin bike as much as I could stand to), but it's been tough getting back at it. My motivation kind of took a holiday, and I think it's still jet lagged. That, combined with the pain of restarting, has made for a less than stellar return. I will miss a 50k at the end of Sept that I signed up for but will probably still do a trail half marathon I also signed up for mid-month. I'm still undecided. I can do the distance (I did 15 miles on Saturday--slowly), but I'm not sure I want to. I hope my motivation wakes up soon.
And I have been busy with my new puppy <3
