Short and Sweet

Short and Sweet describes yesterday perfectly.

First of all, after a week off, I gave into temptation and put the new shoes on for a run. The shoes felt good, and more importantly, the foot felt great! No pain during or after the run, though I must admit it was indeed short and sweet, at just 2.5 miles. But it’s a step in the right direction.

Short and sweet also describes perfectly my succumbing to another temptation. Krispy Kreme.

GASP! Well it’s no secret that my biggest diabetic (and runner for that matter) flaw is my love of donuts. Yesterday morning I stopped at the market and rather than buying just one, I bought a 6-pack of donuts figuring I would share them with my co-workers… turns out they didn’t take me up on the offer, and I ended up finishing them ALL off on my own… DOUBLE GASP!!!!

Back in the saddle, and determined to put in another 80 miles by year end to take my Nike+ total to the 500 mile mark! Two other quick thoughts… 1). Time to publish another podcast- SORRY FOR MY PROCRASTINATION 2). Thinking of writing a web application that graphs nike+ run data and continuous glucose monitor data in one nice graph to see BG’s while running… and possibly opening it up to other diabetic runners. Any thoughts?

Sweet Running to you,
