So around a quarter to 8 this morning, I began running. I would for the longest time I’ve ever run and consequently ran the farthest I’ve gone. 20.5 miles.
Blood sugars were much better on this run. I was at 159 mg/dL before starting, I injected 1u of insulin on top of the 2u I had [...]
It’s a good forecast for tomorrow — lows overnight around 50, cloudy tomorrow morning. It should be much more comfortable than the 18 miler of 2 weeks ago.
Last evening, I negotiated the following deal with my legs — I’d run easy for 3.4 miles after running Tuesday and lifting on Wednesday, then I would run [...]
Last Wednesday featured a bad fail for my lifting. I guess it wasn’t too bad when I got 7-6-4 on my reps for the power cleans of 120 lbs and I wasn’t too surprised that the overhead presses came up short with 6-3-2, but it was the front squats that said more than anything it [...]
It felt like I got rested when I ran yesterday. With fewer miles run and only the abbreviated lifting session on Wednesday last week, the legs got time to recover. Yesterday’s run the legs felt strong and light, I was able to run about 10 min/mile pace using 10 minute runs and 1 minute walk [...]
Got my results for the blood drawn for HbA1c last week, 5.8%. I had thought the couple of tough weeks before the draw might skew me up towards 6%. So the doctor was happy with that result.

I was up in Montreal over the weekend. It was dark and gloomy on Saturday, but I had a [...]
I’ve been getting flummoxed on my control the past 2 weeks or so. I actually saw an 7-day average on my glucose meter above 140 mg/dL. This morning I got blood drawn for an A1c, I’m expecting I may very well see something like 6.1 or 6.2.
It took me some days to decide that [...]
It was a tough long run. Weather conditions weren’t ideal, a bit wet, a bit windy, a bit chilly. My legs complained some especially late in the run about the power cleans and front squats on Saturday. I also had trouble with my blood sugars on the run. I drank too much coffee and it [...]
A noreaster continues to make things miserable here. This morning I decided to push my long run back to tomorrow in hope that the weather will improve enough. Running more than 3 hours for 18 miles in cold rain and wind is probably not the best really. If the weather doesn’t improve enough tomorrow, I’ll [...]
There’s noreaster off the coast and it’s making the weather around here wet, cold, and miserable. After work yesterday, I went to the park to run. The park was nearly empty.
I ran kind of fast because it felt so cold, I wanted to get it over with. I didn’t bring gloves and my fingers began [...]
So I started to do some more regimented and planned out lifting again back on the 29th of September. The big problem I’ve had with lifting, especially if deadlifting, is that it tends to take so much out of me and the legs that running gets tough. Too tough. But here I’ve been squatting 2x [...]
