Glucose AM:125 PM 101
Running with Angels, my new favorite 5K. Half the run was through the Thanksgiving Point Gardens. Though the tulips were no longer in bloom, it is still a great place to see a diversity of trees and plants with new spring growth. The race used the little "scrunchie rings" for timer devices -- the kind Christina likes to cut open with scissors. I haven't found the results on-line yet. The music was to my liking -- 70s oldies such as Sweet Home Alabama, YMCA. It was just a really upbeat feeling -- you know the Utah County afterglow. I cut 30 seconds off my previous best inspite of recovering from a cold and the hilly course. Time 35:20 1st: 10:30, 2nd: 11:30 3rd: 12:10 I took 3 days rest before this race, mostly because I was sick. My legs sure felt rested after that time. Regarding blood sugar, I was surprised that in spite of a low calorie diet and maximum medication my glucose hovered around 200 (too high) during those 3 days. Which means that to keep glucose low, exercise is mandatory. I just can't take days off.
