Beautiful pics as always! 🙂 I once stayed at Ilam Hall Youth Hostel (it's handy for Alton Towers)... 😉
Jealous Mat, missing the Peak District - lovely pics! 🙂 Good BGs too, I'd be happy with that on a long run 🙂 Wish I could eat malt loaf, love the stuff, especially with a thick spread of butter 🙂 However, have had two incidents in the past where the stickiness has succeeded in pulling out two fillings (probably would have come out anyway!).
Looks like the warmer weather might be taking a bit more out of you, blood sugar wise - perhaps more sensitive to the insulin? Must have been a relatively slow drop though if the 2.7 was a surprise! 🙂 I suppose the Team Novo Nordisk guys have CGMS with alarms to tell them when they are dropping low? Impressive ride though! I'm unable to run at the moment after hurting my ankle just over a week ago - very frustrating!
Quite a few ups and downs there Matt, but good job monitoring and treating 🙂 I often wonder about people out running on half-decent days in their hoodies and woolly hats and think how massively overheated they must feel after a mile or so! 😱 My main problem with getting the shorts out though is all the hordes of swooning women I have to hurdle when they cop a sight of my magnificent legs 🙄
Good job raising awareness too, might have to think of getting something myself 🙂
A bit steep for me - I'm still wearing my t-shirts from the 2003/2004 Stockholm Marathon on my runs, a few years pre-diagnosis, as I'm a real cheapskate. At a push I might part with £20 for something that will last a good few years 🙂 I've got running vests from JDRF and Diabetes UK, but tend not to wear vests for a daily run. Legs AND arms would probably result in apoplexy from the park-bound female populace 🙄 😉
Now 1000 riders starting in 3 groups . 0900 1030 1200HELP!
entered macmillan ride24 last week
event in august
Newcastle upon tyne to London Smithfield mkt
600 riders, 310 miles in less than 24 hrs ish
Now 1000 riders starting in 3 groups . 0900 1030 1200
Have asked for 0900 start, so I can slide back through the field, as you do
That's if I make it to the start line
Not long back from my local stadium after a visit with the club physio.
Getting severe pain, like a highly concentrated Lactic Acid burn in my L quad when getting out of the saddle or using a bigger gear
I know, I know, use smaller gears . Twiddling is not an option all the way, need some speed to get the average up and stay among the wheels for a bit of a draft/wheel suck 🙄
Go back next week to see if the exercises he gave me are doing any good
Did you test on the bike or stop like you would for a fingerprick test (I assume you stop!). I'm quite keen on getting a Libre for Adam for when he is active so I don't have to go through the rigmarole of trying to convince him to stop for a test, but that's only going to help if it's easy to swipe through clothes when you're moving about (and assuming I can catch him).
Oh, and the snot? That's what the snot slot on your gloves is for right? 😉 Best bit of advice I wish I'd got sooner about cycling - never touch a cyclist's gloves......
Well done & good luck with ride.Now 1000 riders starting in 3 groups . 0900 1030 1200
