Is one hour your usual running time?
Would you normally test half way through or were you feeling odd?
Are you running a simple around town sort of thing? Or something more hectic - like up hills etc?
Do you know for sure that your insulin doses are correct, in particular your basal?

It's possible that your liver kicked in to avoid / correct a low (5.3 is a little too low to start exercising on if you expect to drop).

Or, it could be that your run wasn't so aerobic and caused a spike in BG instead of lowering it.

2 jellybeans shouldn't push you more than maybe 1 point (in my experience, and naturally we're all different.)

Could it have been a delayed effect from something you'd eaten earlier?

P.S do you really need glucose tabs if you have Jellybeans? I find JBs pretty good, and very fast... not to mention cheap & easy!
