Well, I didn’t win first place for my age group, but I wanted to accomplish three things:

  • Finish
  • Run the Whole Thing Without Stopping
  • Run under 45 which was my previous personal best

I DID ALL THREE!  My unofficial time was 40:22. 

and THANKS TO TONY FOR CHEERING US ON AT THE FINISH LINE!

Hannah did great too – she didn’t look to see what her time was, but it was probably around 35:00 – we are going to check online later today!

 It was 44 degrees when we got in the car – I thought it was perfect weather!

When I woke up, my blood sugar was normal 104.  I thought I would just take half the amount of insulin I normally would, but it backfired on me.  At the end of the race I was 261!  I just ended up taking more insulin when I got home.  We treated ourselves to skinny lattes with sugar free shot of vanilla from Starbucks.

Breakfast:

  • 1 whole grain Thomas english muffin
  • 2 ounces sliced gala apple
  • 1 ounce shart cheddar cheese

I asked Hannah if she wanted some, but something about this combination makes her want to vomit – I love it though!

I am on day two of making my mother-in-laws recipe for split pea soup.  I cooked it several hours yesterday, left the ham bones in overnight and was able to scrape off the fat on the top.  I picked off as much meat as I could, and put it back.  It thickened up nicely!

Plan for today – Hannah and I are meeting my mom for a movie – the new Queen Latifa/Dakota Fanning movie.  Probably won’t post until dinner time – hope everyone has a good Sunday! 

See you at dinner.
