Diabetes Sucks!!!

I don't like it! I don't want it! But I've got it! And once you have it, you always have it. But I can do something about it and that is what this blog is about. My journey to better health and wellness. Yes, for the rest of my life!!!

Two more runs completed...the race is in 2 weeks...

This was my big run before the half marathon. I was very happy to be able to get through it with minimal pain and no breathing problems. My knees were hurting on and off but I could tell it was nothing I couldn't run through. I am excited about December 5th. Now, I only need to do 3-5 mileseach run before the race and increase my speed, if I can, to keep me up to par for the race day.

This was from the run on Thursday which I guess I forgot to post. A good run...I took some Excedrin Migraine for back pain that day and it allowed me to run faster and without any pain.

I am staying under 11 minute miles but I'm not happy about it. I think I should be decreasing my time every run. I guess I need to regroup and not be so hard on myself.

Good 3 mile run...Supposed to be "EZ" but I felt like I could use some speed practice. It was good for me. No pain in the legs...good sign...I think I can do the 13.1 already!!!

I skipped two runs and forgot to add this one from Saturday morning. It was not an easy week for me. But I have to proceed and finish this!
