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!!!

Yes, I did it again. Two days in a row of breaking records!!! I am under an eleven minute mile now. I hope to keep it up. My calves are sore but otherwise, I am ecstatic. Great weather and great run!

Yeah Baby!!! My fastest time. Eleven minute miles with a couple stop-to-walk periods for a quick drink of agua. I know I can get down to a ten minute mile eventually if I run the whole way. Only a matter of time now. Each day is a gift. Today was my present to me!!!

Not as quick as yesterday. Weather 75 degrees. Legs a little stiff today. I'll have to stretch some more. I wonder how long it will take me to hit 1,000 miles. I was hoping to hit in in December and here it is already the end of February. Oh well, not complaining.

I did lower body and a mile at PF then the usual 5 at home. Later than usual...I started at 5:30, but the sky was still on the blue side so I could see the pavemant all the way. It was more humid and around 79 degrees. I was wheezing a bit but slowed down when I needed to. All in all, a great workout.

I went to PF for a full workout and abd/back. It was a nice day for walking/running. I have hit the last of the three digit hundreds and soon will be into four digit walking/running miles. I am excited about how far I have come and how far I still want to go. It is a great big world with a lot of pavement. I am happy to be a part of it all.

I had to do the treadmill today because it was pouring out and I didn't want to skip. I did a mile on the elyptical at PF along with the full upper and lower body workout. Then I ran on the tread mill. I can't run as fast on the treadmill as I can out on the pavement but it is still the increase in heart rate that counts.
