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!!!

Best time here at home! The temp was about 78 and the humidity % was the same! UGH! But, I remembered to have my inhaler ready...I put it in my running shoes ties!
.
I'm excited! I have my big run on Sat...7 miles. I am getting up there. It will prepare me well for Dec. 5th.

My long mileage today. Not fun...heat and humidity is rough but the clouds were my best friend as I huffed and puffed my way to the end. I'm hoping this difficult weather will be good for training.

Keepin' on...

3 miles today. A great run considering the heat (86 degrees) and humidity (prol around 65%). I'm working towards a consistent run without getting too winded. I've used my inhaler twice now. I think it is helping. Tomorrow is a day of of running. More situps and maybe a quick PF workout for upper body.

Added runs...

.
I haven't been keeping up very well. Here are my runs and accumulated mileage. I may not hit 1,500 by the end of the year but, with a different goal in mind, I am accomplishing great things.
