Ran the freedom festival w/kids who finished in 23 (ivan) and 24 (Sage). I did t do so badly at 29 minutes. I thought it could have been worse. We ran home from the race to get an extra 3 miles.

Today felt amazing. I am well, it was early, the day was gorgeous. I did my favorite run to the water fountain . It felt very encouraging to feel like I used to feel (energy/strength wise)

Got a little tired and hot at the end. Doing my strength training workout afterwards I felt really weak.

I am so freaked out right now. I did my Ronald last/vintage park (1) loop and absolutely could not finish the run W/o walking the last .4 of a mile. It reminded me of those last days 2010 before I knew about my blood sugar problem. I was terrified I was going to pass out crossing the intersection on University Ave. So I walked home and when checked my blood sugar. It was 36. That is a new record low.  I am so lucky I didn't have a seizure. I have GOT to EAT before I go out. No excuses anymore.

Also concerning is the fact that 5 minutes after I ate 1/2 cup my special hypoglycemic 7 grain cereal/steel cut oat/fruit/agave concoction I blood tested again and my blood sugar was at 102 (which, while normal for most people, is extraordinarily high for me).  I usually can't get over 90 without eating candy.

I am so discouraged right now. I thought I fnally had it all figured out.  My foot is healing, I thought I was eating properly. I can't understand how to make my liver and pancreas work right.

I got in a solid run. Ran the first half with Catherine, a short 3 miles. Then finished up doing the vintage river trail loop  We're going away this weekend and I'm not sure I'll be able to get up early or get out to run.

I did a really nice evening canyon run.  I felt amazing.

I think going 1-2 days in between runs (doing my high aerobic work outs on the off days) is better for me.

Too many days in a row make by blood sugar wonky.

On my run today I saw a guy tip his BMW throttleing thorugh a U-turn, and two kids get inside a  huge hamster ball and roll down a very long hill.  It was not boring.

It was nice and cool  in the morning, but having blood sugar issues again, for no reason.

Maybe it was because I had my run last night around midnight and I'm tired. IDK.

Maybe my body doesn't like being this weight.  It likes to be fatter.  I feel stronger when I'm fatter, but it's harder on my knees and stuff.

I wanted to run like 8, maybe 10. But you know how it is, running with friends. Met Smooth, Cathy and their north County crew. Smooth and I ran really slow up the canyon. I made her go ahead to find the group. I walked a mile (not counted here) to Vivian park. I knew I could do the downhill w/o aggravating the hamstrings, so I thought I'd wait till they finished south fork. But I was sweaty and cold and turned around to run back. I thought I'd go slow enough they would catch me. But my downhill miles were easy and I ran a normal pace. Saw Josse riding her bike up the canyon and Cath toward the end. I hope I don't pay for those extra miles, I need my knees this afternoon. I have a ton of yard work now my kid is home from the Unitas.
