Yes! A great run. I had a brief encounter with some friends who stopped their car to let me pass and then proceeded to hoot and holler to get me going! It was a thrill. I love it when friends support me.

I had problems sleeping the past two nights (before last night) so I took a Melatonin (ask your doc before you take) and slept pretty well. I did wake up a little slower than usual...almost groggy, but I kept moving, stretching, starting my routine for the day. I got KJ motivated enough to go to PF with me and we got home just before 5 pm. Since everyone was already home and I cooked all week and decided to go out for dinner, I figured I had to walk/run earlier and, of course, in the heat of the still showing sun. Okay, I loaded up on 4 oz. of Gatorade and put half Gatorade in my iced bottle and went out. I was able to do one mile but hit the heat harder than i wanted so I slowed to a walk until I could manage a faster pace. I finished my bottle way before I ought to so I knew I could potentially get dehydrated quickly (been there, done that) so I just meditated while I walked and the clouds pushed their way into site of the sun! Yeah!!! I ran the last mile and a quarter home and finished in under an hour and ten. Plus the mile I did on the elyptical. So, even though it appears slow, it was what I could do for the day. I am very satisfied with it and with myself.

PF today with 10 on the elyptical. A successful workout day. I wanted to take a day off of running. Have to watch for shin splints. My energy level today is 10 on a 1-10 scale! I don't want to change it. I will meditate for grounding purposes. I need to get a hot epsom salt soak in, too, for good measure. Got to take care of this body! It's what I can do best without anyone else. ;)

Liver and onions for lunch, a dinner made for the guys - full Mexican meal, a 5 mile run with a decent time, sweat pouring down my body and I feel fit! My iron level is at an all time recent high, good FBS, A1C is great, my lower back pain is gone and I can't ask for better.

Busy day...

Great workout day. I did my run at 1 pm with a totally overcast sky and 78 degree temp. Humidity was extremely high as it had rained a couple of times in the morning and the cloud cover kept the moisture at ground level. I ran almost the entire 5 miles even though my time was slower than I would have liked. I went to PF right after for an upper body workout. My back is feeling better but I have a muscle strain that is annoying. By the end of the day, after 2 hours of pulling weeds (bent over for the most part), I am feeling pain in my right lower back but I'm sure it is muscle and not nerve. A hot soak in the tub should help.
.
I got my lab results back for the last 3 months and my glucose was 95!!! I'm so excited about that. Also, my A1C was 5.5 and that is good for me. My iron level is the best it has benn, too. So, I'm feeling really good about my accomplishments, inside of my body and out!
