Running: 6 Aug 2010 - Cheshire Moon

Friday, again.  And again, another racer's eve.  The 11th annual Cannonball Pump and Run is tomorrow morning.  I wanted to get a few miles in but didn't want to kill myself doing it, so I figured I'd run for distance and stretching versus time today.  To this end, I did NOT hit snooze on my phone's alarm clock and drug myself out of bed with a little more discipline than other mornings.  I woke again with low blood sugar - 47.  I'm going to make some changes to my pump settings.  The overnight basal rates are going to need adjusting (as might some of my others as I've been low a few times lately).

Running; 5 Arrrrgh 2010 - LOL

Tight.  Tight.  Tight.  I should have fought the rain yesterday and ran.  I think the tightness in my thighs must be from Coach's Goin' to State workout from Monday.  My Dad calls them ladders.  Either way, I think running yesterday would have helped today.  I was running a bit late again today.  Jeeze, there is that word again...running.  Seems to be taking over a bit of my vocabulary.  Could this be the beginning of obsession, Jeff?  Anyway, after the 3 alarms on my phone went off, I must have dozed back off because one minute it was 5:10 and the next minute it was 6:10.  Arrrrgh, I hate that. 

Running: 3 Aug 2010 - Goin' to State 2

As I woke up this morning, I was sort of wishing for rain.  It feels soooo good to sleep sometimes.  But, I convinced myself to get out of bed and don my running gear.  I checked my blood sugar, and it was 56 again, I believe.  So I whipped up some Shaklee Performance and sucked down a good 8 ounces.  I then wandered outside and contemplated my upcoming run.  After a few moments, I decided it would be a good day to Go to State.

Running: 2 Aug 2010 - WOW!

Well, it's the second of August already!  I can't believe I have been at this since the 14th of June already.  I haven't tallied the total number of miles I've ran, but if you have been following me, you might already have done the math (I will later).  I have run three 5k races and one 10k since starting, and have the Cannonball Pump and Run this weekend.  I think by this point I have run 22 times.  That should constitute a "habit."  It must, because I feel guilty when I don't run.  I don't think I have reached "addiction" stage yet, Jeff, but I'll keep at it...
