I believe that I am all set for tomorrows 5k. My only concern is the bowl of pasta that I just had for dinner, will I be able to keep my sugars below 200 the rest of the evening and while I sleep. This afternoon I hooked up the CGM just to be safe, I don't expect any low blood sugars during my run but having my blood sugar on my hip will help me to relax before I get ready to run. Yesterday afternoon I ran and felt very strong, I finished my 3.2 mile run in 23:19. I felt strong and I'm very happy to report that I had no problems with my left knee. I feel great and I'm looking to finish my run in under 23 minutes.
Anytime I'm going to race I always dedicate the run or ride to someone that means a lot to me. Today was a good day but one that was very tough for me emotionally. I was able to go down to the coastal area that was hardest hit by the hurricane almost two weeks ago. The past five years my wife and I have developed a close relationship with a family that owns a restaurant in the area, this family has done more then we could ever ask to help us with our fight against diabetes. Without them our annual fundraiser would be nothing. Going down to help with the cleanup was the least I could do to make the recovery for this family a little easier. I wish that I could do more to make things better, tomorrow when I start my run this family will be with me. Today will stick with me for a long time, seeing this family smile in such tough times will push me through small pains like the one in my knee. At the end of the day it isn't about some race or the awards we win, it is about the ones that mean the world to you. Without friends and family we are nothing.
