Re-started

[molly1973]

I did C25k two years ago and got to running 8-10 relatively regularly, including a gorgeous trot with @Oldfloss in Criccieth and a crazy parkrun on Pwhellii beach accompanied by the Cats and Kittens. My running frequency tailed right off after a particularly bad experience at a large race event that I ran as part of a relay team and life got in the way. I re-started after losing quite a bit of weight and then was really poorly through November and December: I had diabetic ketoacidosis which put me in the high dependency unitard took until Christmas to really recover from. So with a new diagnosis of type 1 diabetes and getting used to living with blood glucose monitoring and insulin, I re-started C25k at the weekend, in the treadmill and with orange juice at hand: my amazing glucose sensor (in my arm) helps a great deal as I can scan it with my phone instead of a finger- prick.

Grateful to be well and able to do this again: today was week 1 run 2 (photo from Saturday when it felt easier than this morning!!)

Thank you! I signed up to a 12 days of Christmas virtual event with my local small events organiser (It’s Grim Up North Running who are fab and lovely). It was to run 12 days in December, but I’m trying to fit it into January. I may have to count walks too at this rate
