Woke up semi-ready and mentally prepared for a distance run.. however, I soon realized that if I would not do it I would feel too bad about myself, so decided to get it over with asap instead.. got out a little before 11am. My dad joined me and served as my sugar provider haha, meaning he carried a waterbottle with sugary/energy water and sugar tabs. Every 10-15min he would hand me the bottle to make sure my sugar wouldnt go low and in general stay fairly even.. because when I work out and my sugar level changes it is harder to perform, I get cramps and more lactic acid collects in my body, expecially my legs when I am running.. I also tend to run out of energy, which results in a slower stride. Anyhow today we were able to control my sugar, we meaning my dad and I because he was the best support! Love running with him because he will always just run my pace and push me when needed, but he will always be fine going my pace even if its slower haha. Today our average pace was 5min49 sec per km which is about a 9min16sec mile pace.. which is just a couple of seconds over what my dad wants to hold for his iron man, so it kind of worked out as a good work out for him too :P
