And now for something completely new!!!!

Ran around after a small yellow ball on Friday.  Unable to run Friday or Saturday, though I wanted to.  Which brings us to Sunday.  Awoke from a nap with high blood sugars due to a few hard to count carbs cookies I had after mid-afternoon dinner earlier.  Instead of a big shot of insulin, I decided to run (had a little insulin still in my system) to bring 'em down.

Felt nice and strong.  Not sure my knees were overly happy later ... pound the hard tennis court followed by pounding the pavement, but they feel good now after a day of recover.

Have been running with a small hydration pack (waist).  However, when I start making some longer runs than I do, it'd be nice to have something bigger to carry a glucometer, insulin, extra calories, and my iphone in.  Being a type 1 diabetic means carrying extra stuff all the time.  I picked up a nice hydration pack/vest that has plenty of room to accommodate all of these items.  It would probably be overkill for anyone but an ultrarunner,  but it fits the bill for me.

 Tested it out tonight.  Awesome.  Didn't have to worry about anything, just running..  My iphone app mapped my run for me, so I didn't need to go to a particular website to map it afterwords manually.

As for the run, it felt good.  Ran a fair amount on dirt roads and paths to the delight of my knees.

Let's try a memorable movie quote from the Seventh Seal (Ingmar Bergman) ...

Mia: Are you tired?
Block: Yes.
Mia: Why?
Block: I'm in boring company.
Mia: You mean your squire?
Block: No, not him.
Mia: Who, then?
Block: Myself.
