I did not get much running in at all last week while I was in Cleveland for my organizations annual conference. Do you want the excuse parade, as I have a long list of drummers and baton twirlers.
So I am home now, in the lovely AZ heat, and with 3 days off this week, the parade does not have much steam. I aimed to go today for my “regular” 6 mile loop, ultra easy pace. I was about 4 in when I felt myself dragging and the blood sugar dropping, so I ended up walking the last 2 and sucking the glucose tablets.
Even with the sun peaking out and over the top of the wall along Pima, it was not too bad. My shoes are getting worn, so it is about time for a new investment. And I am not doing anything special yet with the insulin pump routine.
I did register today for Team Diabates to run the 2007 Rock and Roll Marathon, the full enchilada this year and I hope to try and do the July 5ks from the Arizona Road Racers series.
For extra exercise fun, I rode the bike 2 miles to my wife’s office, where our truck was parked, to take it in for repari, then rode home. It is still a decent warm breeze when one is moving. We’ll see about that after lunch when I need to go back to pick up the truck.
