I went to the track yesterday. I do not mind going to the track. All the articles say you need to go to increase speed. God knows I need to increase my speed. I have been running pretty consistently for a good part of a year and it seems like I am caught in 9-10minute mile. I want to go faster. So I go to the track on Saturdays and run really hard and fast. It is nice I live one mile from a track. So I run a warm up to the track and a cool down back.
After my trail run on Friday my legs were stiff and hurting in unusual places. The mile warm up worked it out. There were several people on the track jogging. I would run a 400 as fast as I could and jog or walk a 400. I had a gel on the 5th. I think I did 6, I wanted to do a couple of 800 but I was out of gas and jogged home. I was running about 1:27 400. Good or bad that is as fast as I could go.
The best thing about going all out is I can pretty much eat what I want all day. I was about 60 when I got home. I ate and ate and gave myself little or no insulin and my blood never went over 100. When I run that hard to affect my sugar that much it makes me feel like I am not diabetic for a time. At night watching TV I had a ice cream sandwich (Skinny Cow) and popcorn with out taking insulin and when I woke up in the morning I was 40. I would have ate more but I was kind of sick of eating.
Today I am taking a off day, probably do some walking, biking and a little core. My calves are so sore. This week I will be in Milwakee in meetings. I will be in a hotel with no car so I hope I can find some places to run around the hotel.
