Back to running

I've always been a runner. It was one thing I enjoyed growing up, and I participated in track and cross-country teams in school. Since finishing college, I've really only ran at the gym. Now I've decided to have a goal to run a 10K race this spring. I've been increasing my distance for the two weeks. Today I ran 3.1 miles or 5K on the treadmill and I felt pretty good. Now that I have the pump, I can adjust my insulin levels easily to avoid getting low blood sugars. Being a mom takes a lot of energy and time focussed on our children. I think running will give me something to do just for me. I hope the weather warms up a bit, so I can start to train outside as well.
