Unexpected exercise!

[SlowRunner]

Well, not entirely unexpected. I decided to go for a little run 1 hour after lunch with it being a nice day. Tested BS, was a robust 6.9 - good to go. The intention was to do maybe 40 - 45 mins gentle paced run... But it was such a nice day I got a bit carried away!! 2 hours & 15 minutes later, arrived back home having run 13.2 miles. So that's a half marathon in the bag then . BS is down to 5.2 & I'm starving! Just about to raid the cupboards for food, I've got 1500 calories to replace!

Excellent SlowRunner. Watch out for the continuing bg drop. 😱

Yes, waiting for the signs... Took a reduced bolus with my huge plate of pasta so hopefully I'll be OK

Wow that's amazing! Not such a slow runner after all then 🙄 😛

Fantastic! The furthest I ever ran was 5 miles. That was over 6 years ago pre arthritic knees!

Well done you, Mmmmm pasta I remember that.

2hr 15m for a half marathon isn't slow - I think you need to change your user name! 😱 🙂 Especially an unplanned one! Well done! Pretty good numbers too, I usually need a top up after 8 miles - did you snack on anything during the run?

Wow, fantastic going! I'd love to enjoy running enough to spontaneously do 5k, nevermind a half marathon!

No because I hadn't planned to be out for that long - I didn't even take water!! I think it crossed my mind a couple of times that it wasn't the most sensible thing to do. I've been pretty low all day today as a consequence though, could have been worse!

Naughty SlowRunner! 😱 Always carry at least a few jelly babies, even if it's only a short run and you're pretty certain you won't need them! The last thing you want is to have a sudden unexpected drop and nothing to treat it!

Lecture over! 😉
