Today I ran almost 5 miles in about an hour. That doesn't sound very fast and it really isn't by running standards but I am just ecstatic about the fact that I actually got up before the sun and ran--I even got home before the sun came up and that was really fun to do...
I thought I was going 7 miles today but then again I guess I can do that tomorrow but the whole reason I am writing this post is to say: my basal rate is right on during this time of the day.
So here is my example:
I woke up and my blood sugar was: 93--great for a fasting if I say so myself.
I went running and came back 1 hour later--I have been sweating and working my body not on flats but hills: up and down so I really worked.--anyway
my post exercise blood sugar was: 90---Yay! if I say so myself--of course I had to eat and drink water which I am due for again--brb--ok so I ate some green beans and a homemade peanut butter and jelly sandwich on whole wheat bread--which I made last week--gotta make more of that--so good. and I forgot to take insulin for the sandwich -- which I shouldn't have done but I wasn't really thinking about: oh I need to take insulin--I was thinking: oh I need to eat something with protein to recover from that run...and I forgot my insulin
so when I checked about an hour later--maybe it was more my blood sugar was: 237--oops go take insulin---roller coaster notwithstanding--I liked my run so much I want to go do it again and it's a good thing as the Halloween Half is less than 3 weeks away---so my focus the next 3 weeks is rest and run, rest and run, rest and run--oh and check my blood sugars...don't forget that -- and take insulin--especially when eating-=-really don't forget that. :)
