On a cold morning (How cold? 29 degrees), I set out for the Run with Santa 5k. It was at least 10 degrees colder than marathon morning. When the siren went off this turtle started slow. But by MM1 I was at 8:15. The next mile was faster. I was 16:20 at MM2. Then I got faster to finish in 24:39, a 7:56 average mile. Not bad. I'll take it especially after giving blood yesterday. The finish put me 61st overall out of a field of 237. That was good enough for 3rd in my age group (45-49) out of 11 in that class.
It would have been enough just to get the nice framed plaque for my 3rd-place finish, but I also won cash in the post-race drawing. Twenty $1 bills. There's only one thing that can be meant for, too bad I have to work the next 5 nights.
Blood sugar still too high. Talked to Doc. I might have to up dosage. But I'm still serching for that natural cure. Between the natural world and modern medicine I ought to be able to control my sugar.
