| This is making me remember one of my "lost memories" of childhood! I had signed up sponsors for a "Walk for Mankind" which I believe was 21 miles around my home town. I remember water stops and maybe a few KoolAid/Punch stops.
My friends dropped out very early. I walked the entire 21 miles without a meter...I don't think I had much in the way of glucose with me...I had confidently told my mother there would be juice along the way.
I was very happy...and I'm sure my mom was very relieved when I called from the City Center for a ride home. This was back in the early 70's...no cell phones, meters, etc.
Now, it's one of my proudest moments. (Ignorance is bliss)...for all I know, my glucose could have been in the 200's the whole way...or just on the edge of happiness...I'll never know. As Richard says in his epic journal...we just didn't know. But it didn't stop us very often. |
