Kelly Christ stood at the starting line at dawn, surrounded by thousands of other runners, stretching her legs for a 13-mile run ? her third as a diabetic.
She checked her blood sugar: 192. Good.
She knew glucose would be waiting at the water stations if she needed it.
So at the starting gun Sunday, she loped off into the early light in a pair of hot pink running shoes ? confident she?d make it back.
?I train five days a week,? Kelly, 14, of Raleigh, said later. ?It takes a lot of energy.?
