My knee is still feeling tender, so I am resting it by switching todat to some bike riding. Since I am off for Veterans Day, I took the opportunity to bike over to the Runners Den on 16th and Maryland to pick up my packet and stuff for Sunday’s New Times 10k run. It’s a nice ride along the canals.

It was hardly a competitive bike ride! First my blood sugar bonked low so I stopped at the Safeway on 48th St as my supply was kind of thin. Yum, Gatorade and chocolate bar.

Then it must have been the headwind, because it was a pokey slow roll to my destination. It was a bit better on the return trip, but I feel way more tired than I should for a ride this length.

Did you know... "Diabetes is the fifth-deadliest disease in the United States. Since 1987 the death rate due to diabetes has increased by 45 percent, while the death rates due to heart disease, stroke, and cancer have declined." (from ADA The Dangerous Toll of Diabetes)
