Well, I’m on day 3 of my restart for running.  It felt really good again today, I upped it another notch and did 2.5 miles and added more running time.

I checked my blood sugar a couple hours after running and it was 85.  Then I ate an apple and 1/2 a corned beef sandwich on double fiber bread with mayo for lunch.  I then checked my sugar again before dinner and it was still 85!  YAY!  The medication I take won’t let my blood sugar go too low, so that’s a good thing.  I checked Bob’s sugar and his was 100, and he didn’t eat lunch.  So I’m keeping my fingers crossed that maybe, just maybe with more weight loss and continued exercise that I can be ‘cured’ or be normal.  I really hope to get off the meds and maintain my health with diet and exercise.  I really think that exercise is the key…..(did I say that?)  GOD…………  I actually said to Bob the other day that I have really FELT like getting back into running and that it has been feeling good to run………seriously I think an alien came down and swapped out brains or something…

I’m just about 1/2 way to goal.  It did go really fast in the beginning, then slowed, then for the last month was stagnant.  But I’m recommitting myself and am raring to go to make the last haul and get r done.

I’m back !  Not that I ever took off from my goal, but I did slack on the running part.  But today I started back by doing the couch 2 5K week 2 run and added a 13 min. core/low impact work out.  FELT GREAT .

Being down 31.5lbs, really helped the effort.  I can run more effortlessly. YEAH!!  Hoping to get close to goal before I visit the doctor again in November.  I hope I can get off meds!!!!!

As for my Achilles tendon, I cut the back of my running shoes today so it doesn’t push on the ‘spot’ and guess what?  It worked.  So far so good.  I’m wondering if my darn shoes are to blame for the pain.  Constant pounding back there by my shoe?  Bob has been urging me to go to A Running Start and let them match me up with the shoe I need……..

Anyway, I’m back on the serious track and am not getting off until I’m done!  LOL
