November 1

Run
  • -----
  • 3.00 miles
  • -----

Ran 3 miles untimed (had to take a bio break after mile 1!) All in all felt pretty good. Some tightness of breathing and left knee achy afterward. Focused on not trying to put my feet through the ground but rather to run light.
23 days to Turkey Trot!

Happy Halloween! Well, No gym tonight but I did walk/run several blocks with Rapunzel and a Scarlet Macaw fleecing the good citizens of TR of their candy! Very enjoyable evening with the wild bunch. I have to say that Halloween may be my favorite holiday (sweets excluded). I mean when else can you dress up  as a freak and have it be perfectly acceptable. Halloween does not demand a bunch of expensive gifts, creativity is encouraged and rreally there is no pressure to be on your best behaviour!

Sport
  • Yoga
  • 20m
Working the night shift so slept until mid afternoon. I am really happy I had time before work to take the girls swimming. They both really enjoy it. Got a couple of laps in but not much to speak of. Mostly showing Ava the technique of swimming. I guess because she is only 3 that she'll get it on her own! BTW Ava passed her Pike swim class and is now an Eel! Very proud of that little girl!

Sport
  • Yoga
  • 20m
After much consideration, decided to take a rest day from working out. My lower back right side has been killing me so I thought I would just rest and lay on the heating pad. Working the night shift so a little extra sleep did me some good. Later tonight some yoga to try and stretch the back and to research my right hip pain. Possible groin strain.

October 26

Was really planning to get to the gym tonight but instead carved pumpkins for the girls. No remorse there!
BGL numbers have been somewhat erratic as of late. Perhaps it is due to the fact that I always seem to be hungry and just pound down everything in sight. With going back on shift, I am hoping to get a handle on this and make necessary changes. Weight has stayed about the same so I guess I am pretty much burning off what I consume. Still, need to be more aware of what I am eating not only from a fitness stand point but diabetes most importantly.

November is Diabetes awareness month.
