My Diary

Diabetes Walk

Participated in the local Diabetes Walk this weekend - was a nice walk through one of the local parks. They had 1 mile and 3 mile course planned out - I did the 3 mile and to be honest it didn't seem like it was that long. Just after the midway point I felt like, ok I'm warmed up now and by then it wasn't long before I got to the end. It was nice to be able to do things like though - since dropping weight, I've participated in two such events so far - the Relay for Life (due to a very dear friend's having advanced ovarian cancer - she passed away a few days after the event) and this one. (I have a very mild form of diabetes, no insulin or daily checking needed, but I considered this as going for the people with much more severe cases than mine.) Next will be the heart walk a couple of weeks from now - another 3 miler - which I'll be ready to do.
 
You walked for a good cause. Both my mom and dad have it along with my granny on my dad's side when she was still alive. Ash's granny on her dad's side also had it, so were both prone to get it.

Race Day II

Today's spinning class was our second race day. To be honest, I was dreading it because of fear of failure. Yeah I had considered not going, but (probably thankfully) there's a deeper will at work that got me in there and on the bike, overriding the mind. I'd made sure I rested well for this time around - Friday, Monday and today I walked on the treadmill - today only a slow walk - for half an hour each time.

Race day for us is getting up to 85% of your max heart rate as quickly as you can and staying there for 30 minutes. Last time we did race day, I was able to get up to around 82% or so - only managing 85% in the last part of the ride... This time I was able to get to 85% within a couple of minutes and stay there (or go higher) for the full 30 minutes. I still can't believe it lol. Not sure if it was added leg strength from the rest or training, but I'm not one to argue lol. (Yeah, all kinds of happy and proud here). I'm not sure if it's my best workout day ever... but it's gotta be in the top 3. Will see how I feel tomorrow, but for right now? Life is good.
