Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 🙂 5.8 for me today and within my target 🙂
 
6.6 for me this morning. Travelling home today so good start.i get pfiser booster on Sunday along with flu. Had AZ jab last time so hope this ones as ok.
 
Joining @goodybags this am with a 6.9. Took these at the entrance to Canford Magna (very private, very expensive) school on Saturday. The shoe gives you an idea of the size of this clump of fungi. Dead centre of the lawn, possibly there's a stump of on old tree underneath this lot.

7.4 for me today, so a slight improvement, got my son to do another lateral flow test as he isn't getting any better and starting coughing, but it came out negative again, so is just a lurgy, still hoping I don't get it.

Managed to run 12.5km yesterday, first 5km were slow as my friend who has not run since she had covid at the beginnig of October wanted to try a run, so we met up and she joined me for the 5km which is why we took it easy, then I carried on as I wanted to do 10k, but got carried away, could have run more but stopped as I was near the coffee shop and it was almost 11am and I wanted to stand still for the silence.

Have a good day everyone

Well done with run grannylorraine. I can’t run for toffee but walk a bit and more than used to. Hope your son is better soon. I had horrible cold a few weeks ago and paranoid that it was COVID but not. there seems to be a nasty going around
have a good day

Morning

8.something today (really must make an effort to remember exactly lol)

Well 30th yesterday was a tad down, hoped my dad would make an effort and post a card but nope, ah well never mind mum and Bruce made up for his lack of thought xx
 
House special again this a.m. WIsh I could hit consitent high 4s rather than having to regard them as a hole in one. BP 116/57, rpr 57. Been waiting for a Dr's appointment for 3 weeks and now have one for 23rd. I was supposed to check in after 2 weeks having reduced Losartan from 100mg to 75 as was getting downright wibbly wobbly when standing up. Since no supportive phone call available made solo decision to cut to 50mg. BP now looks pretty well spot on. Haven't lost any more weight so am ascribing it to improved walking speed - now managing a brisk (for me) 2mph over 1 mile with dog. Given that a year ago I had difficulty getting off the loo or rising from a chair or turniong over in bed I reckon I've made some decent progress. Weight pretty steady at 66kg despite noble efforts to lose a final 6kg (BMI 22). Managing to hold pain levels to tolerable on 12.5mg of steroids - fingers crossed that no flare raises its head and scuppers progress. Hope the weather is better for other members - can't see beyond the garden hedge this morning.
 
5.3 for me this morning. 🙂
And congratulations to today's HS trio @Lanny @freesia & @TinaD

Wow! Congrats on 2 House Specials in a row @TinaD You get a gold star if you can pull off the hattrick tomorrow!
 
A very pleasing but surprising 5.9 this morning, didn't think I was ever going to see the 5s again, only thing I did differently was to eat very late as I had running and yoga so didn't get home until 9.30 ish, that meal included a wholemeal rollthat has 37g of carbs, so wasn't expecting to see such a pleasing figure today.

@Lanny @freesia and @TinaD - congratulations on your HS today.

@Carolg - thank you, talking to people at yoga last night someone had this lurgy for several weeks, doctor got them PCR test as didn't think their lateral flow tests were correct, but still negative, ended up having chest X-rays, but all was clear, and she is still coughing now, so it seems.

@ColinUK - well done on your parkrun. I am trying to get as many miles in as I can in case I get this lurgy as I do virtual challenges each month, although I seriously cut it down this month due to my surgery at the end of last month.

Have a good day everyone, the sun is shining at the moment in my part of Essex.
 
A 5.9 for me at 05:42 this morning. Grey and overcast in West Berks but we seem to have missed the fog.
 
Whoa - got a hat trick of 6.6, that's three mornings in a row. :D

Congrats on your consistency but no prizes for a trio of 6.6's I'm afraid.

Morning. 5.8 today but I’ve skirted close to the edge of hypoland all night. No alcohol was harmed in the making of this number! I was low before bed ( 5.9) had my customary snack and read for 45 minutes. Quick swipe at lights out, 4.4! I believed it was compression so laid down to sleep. But of course I couldn’t, waited 10 mins, still 4.4. Checked on metre, 4.6! Two jelly babies, as usually they send me sky high instantly. Fell asleep, woke up suddenly 50 minutes later, 5.1! Should really have had another jelly baby but I felt so tired I didn’t have the energy, and I have the alarm on my Libre to wake me if I go hypo. Woke at 5 for loo. 4.7! I didn’t have anything as this is the time it goes up. It did. Basal back down by half again tonight. It’s blooming hard work sometimes isn’t it? 🙄

Anyhoo, that’s my exciting night. Not quite like they used to be! 😉

Have a fab day all. Good work @Lanny. 🙂

I’m going to leave you with a couple of photos of the fog that descended the Carlisle area just around dusk yesterday. We’d been out walking and the fog followed us back home. We stopped at the top of our hill to take photos over to the river. Never seen anything like it. Ethereal.

Lovely photos @eggyg. Hope your levels have stayed ok.
