Running: A Little Backpedaling

The Power of Three

I finally pulled this off the computer this morning.  It was from the Stuart Good Egg Days 5k on 6/19/10.

3 generations (Dad-Bob), (Me-Mike), and (Son #4-Jordan)

I earned 3 medals (1st father/son - me & Dad), (2nd father/son - me & Jordan),

and placed 3rd in my division.

Each of us has a 3 on our runner tags.  Oh yeah...it was a 5k (3.1 miles).

Running: 30 June 2010 - Milestone

Another beautiful day for a run.  Part of me was real reluctant to want to get up this morning.  I suppose that part would be just the parts that are required for running...and my wenis (actually termed the olecranan skin).  I'd say the temp was a cool 65 degrees.  It was very nice.  I had a nice breeze blowing in my bedroom window...I could have stayed in bed...ahhhhhh....but I didn't.

Running: 28 June 2010 - Back at it...

Beautiful morning for a run.  I hauled my butt outta bed and went.  I chased the morning full moon for a bit, contemplating what it was doing to the waters of the earth.  I'm sure it was doing what it did everyday with the tides.  I noticed, although only 2 days after being full and commanding of the night, in the morning sky it had already started to wane.  Then, realizing I was NOT going to catch it, I turned perpendicular to its path and continued my run.  Finally, I turned again and let IT watch ME, as I ran the rest of the 5k home. 

Running: 25 June 2010 - Not today.

Well, I did not get up this morning and am kinda kicking myself for not doing so.  It was gorgeous out too.  Part of the reason is I was low.  When I woke up at the prescribed running time, my blood sugar was 56.  And with timing being everything, by the time I would have eaten something and gotten the blood sugar back to a decent range to exercise, I would have been out of time to run.  Plus, I would have had food in my gut, and after last Saturday and almost spilling my cereal, I wasn't going to take the chance.  Ahhhh, living with Diabetes...
