On Sunday, Nathaniel and I started training for our Thanksgiving Day 5k! We both ran about 2 miles (I ran a block and walked a block, repeated--he ran the whole time). Today I'm so sore!! I'm also so motivated! About a month ago, I sold our other jogging stroller in hopes to purchase a double jogger next spring, thinking that I wouldn't be out jogging any time soon. But since we've signed up for this 5k race, I was on Craigslist today looking for double joggers and found this single for a great price! When I e-mailed and saw that it was still available, I jumped on it. This way, either of us will be able to take one of the kiddos should the need arise when we go out for our training runs. :-) I'm going to beat this diabetes!!

Thanksgiving Day 5K!
As an additional motivational factor to keep active, I signed Nathaniel and I up for a 5k race on Thanksgiving morning. Its good for me to have a goal to look forward to when managing my diabetes because otherwise I get too numbers oriented or really dragged down--neither of which result in successful management. So, by setting an activity goal, something that I'm paying for, I usually keep more in line. To help achieve this end, I purchased another jogging stroller!!
