| AM- 5 miles out towards Naples, then looping around home of bit. 8:02 average.
PM- 10k commute from Aggie. 7:31 average. I was positive that my blood sugars were really good on this run, but sadly when I got home they were above 400mg/dl. Speaking of which, I know that my easy paces would be considerably faster, if I could get my blood sugar down on my runs, but it seems as though the majority of the time they just stay really high when I go running. I am guessing that most, if not all, of the runners on this blog don't know what running with high blood sugars feel like. Running with high blood sugars involves a lot of fatigue, leg cramping, and sometimes heavy breathing when the blood sugar levels are extremely high. I am not trying to reach out for simpathy or anything like that, but I need to figure out ways to keep my BG down on my runs, because it really effects my overall performance. Anyways long post, but both of my runs felt pretty good today considering the high BG's.

| PM- Quick crossfit workout this afternoon. Did the benchmark workout "Annie", which consists of 50-40-30-20-10 double unders and situps. I was happy to have improved on this workout by almost 30 seconds from 7:25 to 6:47. Hopefully I can improve on this one next month.

| AM- 6.2 miles out towards Naples, and then making loops around home for the last 2 miles. My right ankle felt stiff for the first mile, but after that it started to loosen up.
PM- 8.5 miles on the TM. 7:32 average. Ankle felt better on this one versus earlier this morning. I also think that I might try to go for my first 100 mile week as long as weather cooperates nicely.

I experienced really low blood sugars on both afternoon runs, which didn't feel great. Not as bad as hyperglycemia though.

| AM- 15.5 miles. 8:15 average. Legs felt kind of dead, yet somewhat fresh. It was a weird feeling. Since it is Friday the 13th, I made sure to go on a safer route for this run.

PM- 4 miles out to Naples and back. 7:58 average. Felt better than this morning!

| PM- 10.5 miles starting from Vernal Park. Also capped off the week from Monday to Sunday with 103.5 miles. This is a big weekly mileage PR, and also my first 100 mile week ever! If I were to increase my mileage consistently to this amount, I would probably do a lot more of my mileage on soft surface, because I think that the pavement beat my legs up somewhat from this big mileage week. I also need to get my iron levels checked again or go to a blood drive and see if they deny me for too low of iron, because my breathing and the legs didn't always feel quite right. I will also probably take Monday and Tuesday off from running this week, and let my legs recover a bit.

| AM- Would have ran outside for the last run of the year, but it was pretty chilly out this morning, so I just went with the treadmill this morning and still had a decent medium long run! It is crazy to think that this year is already over. 2019 brought many high and low points for me throughout the year. I ran three marathons, one of which was my first marathon major at Chicago, and I also ran what I consider one of the hardest challenges I have ever done and that was the 40 mile Death Race in the middle of July! I have some big goals in 2020 that I really want to accomplish throughout the year! #1: Run the Boston Marathon and potentially run a personal best in the marathon at that race. #2: Get a 4.0 GPA in one of my college semesters in 2020. #3: Manage my type 1 diabetes to the best of my ability, and maintain a good a1c. #4: If I run the Death Race again, try to get as close to 100 miles in the race as possible. #5: Continue to enjoy life, explore new places, and continue to embrace running as much as possible. Anyways, long post but I am very thankful for everyone that has been apart of my life over the past year and decade. I hope everyone has had great experiences in life over 2019, and even greater ones in 2020!
