Don’t Worry Run Happy

After three months I have made my return to running! It wasn’t pretty but it felt great to be back on the trails. I began very cautiously and was waiting for my neck to give me some pain. I was only a few hundred yards in and yelled at myself “Your on the trails and fell in love with them because you relax while running, don’t think just do!” With that and some awesome county music I was off. I walked more hills then I would have liked but this was first run in months, I had to remind myself of that a lot.

The best part of the run was finding myself as I always do while running the trails. I love the self exploration while on the trails, for example today I was running in our “soon to be” new hometown. This is a town just miles away from where I grew up but is in a different state and a lot more country. I never imagined my life being in this town but I can’t describe how happy I am to call it home! Kate and I will explore our new country town via the trails weekly and we can’t wait.

Diabetes wise starting my run at 130 was perfect. A temp basal was set for the three mile run but was probably not necessary. A thirty minute run is nothing, when it comes to suspending insulin. I just wanted to play it safe and did well as my blood sugar was at 112 when I finished. I’m hoping this continues but as the miles increase it will become more of a challenge to keeps sugars in my perfect range.
