And the March goes on, and on; and on; and on.....

So I haven't posted since January 11: Wow: I haven't taken the time to even think about blogging. I have been focusing so much on running, helping put together a team for the Ragnar Relay and my diabetes that I haven't even thought about my blog. Thanks Debbie for leaving a comment on my last post. You should check out her blog: it is hilarious. I have it bookmarked in my folder called : Hilarious....

So I have been having some interesting results with the running. I got a GPS for Christmas and have been logging the miles on it; and checking my pace, and trying to time my run/walk/run sequence; etc,
but I am getting frustrated because I can't run as far or as fast as I see myself running in my head.

I have this sunny day, blue skies picture in my head where I am out on the road in this totally hip running outfit with shoes that are totally new but still very well broken-in; just running and running and running and I am not even tired.

That is so totally not me right now and I am beginning to wonder if that ever will be me; I am too impatient with myself, I guess.

Where else would I want to spill my deep down desires but the World Wide Web where there is no privacy-ever?

The thing that has really been bugging me about running and diabetes is if my Blood Sugars are not under 200--I will be higher, not lower, after giving insulin at 1/2 the recommended rate and then running for 8 miles or some other ridiculously high number like that--it is ridiculous to me because I am a beginner but I am working on being able to run 30miles so I am really worried about what my blood sugars are going to do. I can just see myself getting back from a particularly stressful long run of about 15 miles or so and I am not over 200 or 300 but over 500: THAT really scares me--I thought running or exercising was supposed to help my body metabolize the sugar faster and better not the other way around.

I guess a chat with the doctor will have to suffice for this dilemma. I just expected to have problems on the other end of the spectrum: having alot of low blood sugars, not high...........
