"I have those days quite often. I always thought I needed more hydration. If my BS are within range, I walk/run the goal distance. It males me feel as if I haven't abandoned the goal, and we live to fight another day. Good luck and never give in."

Gillian replied to Kathleen Jacobs's discussion 'Hard to run' in the group Type 1 Runners"I think we all go through this diabetic or not... some runs feel great some feel stiff. I personally don't warm up until about 3 miles.... my advice.... keep you stride short and quick with a higher cadence..."
acidrock23 replied to Kathleen Jacobs's discussion 'Hard to run' in the group Type 1 Runners"I had really bad cramps during the 2011 Chicago Marathon- like 13 miles worth- and then after that on pretty much all runs > about 12 miles. I discovered that if I laid off coffee for like a week before a longer run= no cramps. I usually drink…"
barbraann replied to Kathleen Jacobs's discussion 'Hard to run' in the group Type 1 Runners"Know what you mean. Can't explain except that your body has a mind of itself. It knows when you're rested and knows when you're sick before your brain does. I find my blood sugars going haywire weeks before I actually get sick. I know…"
"Oh yes I know what you are talking about. Some runs are just awesome, I have high energy and just feel like I could go on forever, while sometimes I just struggle to even get through. I think it is just normal ups and downs. Maybe do some extra…"
"Oh thank you for the advice. I am going to put dynamic stretching in the google machine :) and read up on it. I do run with a club on Sundays so that makes me push harder to keep up with them, and I like that, I do need friends to help motivate me.…"
"Congrats on the accomplishment - keep after it! Sometimes having a motivator (friend you run with, race you want to complete) in a visible place can help. Consider trying dynamic stretching prior to the workout (google it - and you'll find…"
Hard to run
I have been running for about 8 months now and have gradually made it to 8 miles. It is an accomplishment for this former couch potatoe.Sometimes I am feeling great and can run for miles. Sometimes, like this morning I can't seem to get in gear. Nothing hurts, my muscles just feel "tight". Does that make any sense?I walk a bit to loosen up before running and I stretch afterwards. My blood sugar is fine and I adjust my pump settings so I can go the distance. Today my bs was high because I had…See More
La replied to Kathleen Jacobs's discussion 'Treadmill or Pavement ?' in the group Type 1 Runners"There's nothing like running on proper ground. Treadmills don't prepare you as fully as pavement does. You can do many more miles on treadmills than in real life so the marathon will be longer and more strenuous if you choose treadmills as…"
Truffle replied to Kathleen Jacobs's discussion 'Treadmill or Pavement ?' in the group Type 1 Runners"Hi Kathleen I use the treadmill when I up my distance significantly and want to trial my insulin to carb routine before I hit the pavement. Don't run on anything less than a 2 percent incline to help replicate running outside. Plan for a few…"
"Thanks for the advice. I will get outside at least 2 times a week to train. I know I have to."
Dane replied to Kathleen Jacobs's discussion 'Treadmill or Pavement ?' in the group Type 1 Runners"Good point Knittykat! Conversely,training here in Florida, I am hoping to be in better condition from the heat and humidity for an early October race in Chicago!"
knittykat replied to Kathleen Jacobs's discussion 'Treadmill or Pavement ?' in the group Type 1 Runners"I agree with all this. Especially if your race is in Florida -- you aren't going to have a great race if you can't handle the heat and humidity! I have run a race in Miami before (a 10k) after training in NC for a few months, and it was…"
Dane replied to Kathleen Jacobs's discussion 'Treadmill or Pavement ?' in the group Type 1 Runners"Hey Kathleen, living in south Florida, I can understand the attraction to the treadmill to avoid the heat and humidity! My preference is the pavement because that is where the races are run and, for me, the changing scenery and people is just more…"
Treadmill or Pavement ?
I am a relatively new runner and live in Florida. I am training for a 1/2 marathon. I really dislike running in the heat & humidity during the summer but I run with my running group on Sunday mornings 3 miles.I can run 7 miles now on the treadmill but realize that I am going to have to start running outside. Should I get my distance under my belt on the treadmill and then start running outside? Or should I start running outside and run on the treadmill once in a while?See More

Thx for the friend add! Nice to meet you! Congrats on the 5K, that's a great feeling!! I didn't start running until I was about 37 and it has been a really good thing for me to do. So far so good!
