Don’t tell anyone, but I am secretly trying to start up running again… and I still hate it. But my A1Cs went over 8 then down to 7.5, and I need to get my glucose in order, and I am tired of thing around my gut, and the demon that sneaks in the house at night and shrinks my pants.
So I am starting with some really short runs, and relying on audio podcasts to keep me distracted. I’m also trying to get out once a week for some kayaking on a lake.
But keep it under your brim for a while. I have no plans to run a race or anything close to that.
Did you know... "In the U.S. population of adults born between 1931 and 1941, diabetes is associated with a profound negative impact on economic productivity. By 1992, an estimated 60 billion US dollars in lost productivity was associated with diabetes; additional annual losses averaged 7.3 billion US dollars over the next eight years, totaling about 120 billion US dollars by the year 2000" (from The impact of diabetes on workforce participation)
