This past week was all about healing.
Healing my foot.
Healing my cold.
Healing my hellish blood sugars.
Although the week was rough to say the least, I accomplished all three of my goals listed above, which makes me happy.
So what did I actually do this week? Not a whole lot.
Monday - nothing
Tuesday - nothing
Wednesday - 3 miles on the treadmill and three on the elliptical
Thursday - 4 miles running and 3 on the elliptical
Friday - nothing. Being over 400 for 8+ hours negatively impacted my body. It made me never want to be high again, although I realize that is an impossible goal.
Saturday - 8 mile "long" run for the week in the sunshine (how I have missed the sun!!)
Sunday - 3 miles on the treadmill and three miles on the stair master after cheering on my friends at the indoor triathlon
Weekly totals:
18 miles run
6 miles elliptical
3 miles stair master
Can I count this as a step back week? It was more of like a "do nothing" week, but I am surprisingly ok with that. I'd rather be healthy and not work out a few days than have lingering sickness.
This week is going to be so much better. I can't wait to resume training now that I am feeling better. Plus, it is supposed to be a little warmer, which is great!!!
My life as a runner, perfectionist, athlete, 20-something, and type 1 diabetic.
found your blog by typing "diabetic runners" I am a t1, since 14...anyway...I have my first marathon this week and am super nervous. What do you do with your pump when running, I clip inside waste band...I have tried a spibelt but moved around too much.
ReplyDeleteHappy you got a sunshine run in!
ReplyDeleteSince I am ignorant, how much higher is 400? What does that feel like for you? :(
