Waiting for Fall
Thursday, September 2, 2010
Well, I almost put “Friday” in the dateline above, so that should give a hint about how the week is going! Actually, I’ve been having to remind myself all morning that tomorrow is not Saturday.
Anyway, moving on…. It is now September and it’s been a couple weeks since I’ve posted anything. It’s [...]
Diabetes and the long run day
Tuesday, August 3, 2010
I was up at 4:00 am this morning so that I could get in a 31 mile run and still get in a day of work. The 31 miles took a little less than 4 hours (3:58:40 to be exact). Luckily for me, the early start meant I finished up before the [...]
Running, training, diabetes, eating, sleeping….
Friday, July 30, 2010
I can’t believe that it’s almost August! The summer is flying by. I’m not complaining too loudly, though, because this has been the hottest summer on record in NC. Those of us who run are all too familiar with the weather forecast day in and day out. It’s bad enough when you [...]
Training for a marathon with diabetes
Thursday, July 15, 2010
There is training for a marathon and then there’s training for a marathon with diabetes. Most of the diabetic runners I know will admit that they secretly wish they could just train and not have to worry about how to work around all their diabetes stuff. And, I’ll admit that it was [...]
What is different about running with diabetes?
Thursday, July 8, 2010
I have had Type 1 diabetes for almost my entire running career. I can’t really remember what running was like before I had diabetes. But, I do remember a few things. I remember not having to carry carbs with me on every run. I remember being able to be blissfully negligent in [...]
Running with diabetes
Thursday, July 1, 2010
Some days, a run just doesn’t go well. I ran a long run today and just felt pretty bad for the whole run. I even shifted things around because the weather this morning was fantastic for a long run. I got through the whole run, 31 miles of it, but it was [...]
Running on Insulin
Wednesday, June 23, 2010
I ran a long run yesterday morning … very early in the morning … like 5:30 early in the morning. I have to get started early when I run long because it can eat up half the day (or more). In the summer, I have to get started even earlier because of [...]
Summer training
Tuesday, June 8, 2010
This would be strength work, right? Well, I need to do some strength work over the summer, but I don’t think I can build up to pulling that rock for real!
I ran a long run this morning. It was my first long run since the 50 mile race in Chicago about two [...]
Post-race recovery
Friday, May 28, 2010
I’m almost a week out from the race now and feeling mentally recovered but not completely there yet physically. It’s not just the race that I need to recover from, but also the training. I don’t keep a training log like I used to back in the day when I was road [...]
More stuff about the race
Wednesday, May 26, 2010
I finally went for a run this morning. I took three days off after the DPRT 50 Miler. I walked some and got on the elliptical, but I didn’t run until this morning. My left hip feels better (I went into the race with a little bit of tendonitis or bursitis in [...]
