Christmas, Already?!?!

December 24, 2008

I went to my first Team Captain meeting tonight for Relay For Life. FUN!!! I’ve been to the relay before, this will be my fourth year in fact. But it’s my first with my (our) own team – Team WOBO

Results

December 19, 2008

Drum roll please…….A1C went from 8% to 6.7%!!! Very, very good results. The goal is to get below 6%, stay there and get off the pills and insulin!! I’m so close!!
My other appointment didn’t go so well. The needle broke off while doing the bone marrow aspiration – not a good thing. So I rolled [...]

December 13, 2008

Talk about windy!  Today’s weather was not too cold but very windy.  We had a headwind going out and thankfully a tailwind coming back.  Coming down that last hill (which is a mile long) I felt like I was flying at times when the wind gusts hit my back.  I think that was my fastest [...]

18 Miles this Weekend

December 4, 2008

Wow! I can’t believe December is already here. It seemed like the 18 and 20 mile weekends were so far away but now they’re here.  It’s been an off week with the holiday and all. I did manage to get in 5 miles on Turkey day but haven’t done much since then due to sickness [...]
