For the last couple of weeks I have been getting up around 5:30 to go for a quick run because I wouldn't have time later in the day to get on the bike. I had nothing telling me how I was running, I would just run for a while and see how it goes. I was very surprised at how well I felt while I ran, all of the cycling has made me a better runner. Today I finally decided to download an app to track my runs. When I last tracked my runs I would run one to four miles at a 8:30 mile pace. Today I kept my calm and did my normal run, as I started I could tell I had a little extra giddy up knowing I was being tracked by an app. Six minutes in I hear from the app, "You have completed one mile in 5:56" I almost stopped, I have never run a mile under seven minutes before. Now I'm sub six, how did that happen?? My second mile cam in at 6:37 still I couldn't believe it, I felt great. I honestly didn't know how much cycling had changed my physical fitness. I feel great and diabetes wise everything is better due to the bike. It is a crazy connection!!
