Today (16th), it was all about blood sugar. Although I'm much thinner now, I still have diabetes, and was relying successfully on mints (5-10 calories each) for enough sugar to get through a run.  Could NOT power through that today; was not out of breath or had tired muscles, but I was sweating and just had to quit.  I found some glucose tabs and will try those out tomorrow if it's possible to run.... Def. will not be bumping up my speed until I work this out. Sunday 16 Feb: 2.6 miles @ 3.2 mph.   Monday 17: 1.5 miles Tuesday 18: 1.6 miles. A tiny bit better with the glucose tabs. Wednesday 19: 1.5 miles. Eh. Thursday 20: too tired to get onto the treadmill.  Friday 21: squeezed in 1 mile and was happy about that. Saturday 22: 1.3 miles. Chewing the glucose helped; buying more. This week, Feb16-22: 9.5 miles. Word of the week: persistence .
