I took Tuesday off, although maybe I should have run considering how nice the weather was. But my head was still out of sorts after Sunday's race and the bad blood sugar, so I let that day go. Went out for 3.3 miles tonight, just kind of ran to run, finished up and went to the pharmacy to pick up the supplies needed for another month.

It might be worth noting that strength training has definitely become more emphasized. One advantage it has is that I don't have to be so fussy about the blood sugars and calculating how much to eat before going out to run. So even if I'm not running, the strength workouts do a lot of good to help keep my basal metabolism chugging along and my insulin sensitivity high. Sometimes it makes the running a bit tough though now, especially if I'm doing squats. But my legs need to get stronger and obviously as I've continued to train my overall work capacity continues to expand.

Maybe for the first time in my life, I'm beginning to think of myself as becoming fit and strong. It's been a lot of work, but it's been worth it.
