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!

I'm trying for 20 miles per week

I think this is my best week since a while back. The Prednisone is working and as long as I keep up the movement, I can do this.

Okay, I dodged another bullet! I again prayed to the lighning/thunder gods and they spared me once again! Thank you gods of L & T!!! But, I didn't really mention the rain in my prayers so I made it back to the entrance to Stratton Woods before the grapefruit sized raindrops entered the picture. Luckily, I live in the first house! So, I basically dodged another round tonight. The thunder and lightning soon followed after I got in the house. And mind you, my time was a wee bit faster than previous days!!! LOL Yes, with good reason, I didn't want to be a statistic!

PF, a mile on the elyptical, upper body, abs and lower back and a 5 mile run. I was able to talk with the thunder/lightning gods and keep it at bay while I was out. Not an easy task but appreciation was shown ...I worked hard in my mileage especially with the Prednisone I am on right now. And the hot flashes aren't making it any easier either. I look forward to easier running days in the future and no menopausal symptoms eventually. That will be sweet!

I did a mile on the elyptical so I added it to my log. Better than nothing.
