Yet Another Thyroid Pill

Actually, I haven't been on any thyroid medications for quite some time.  My last blood test did show that I was pretty low again, so the doc has me on a higher dosage than last time.  Hopefully this will get my hormone levels corrected without giving me gut-wrenching pains.  I've only been on it for two days so far, so I still have quite some time before I'll know how I'll react to this dosage.  I only know that I hate having to wait another half hour after waking up before I can drink my coffee. :-)

Recovery Run (6.2mi)

Getting the dog back into the mix with a short warm up, followed by some trail work by myself.
