Finally the summer reached Stockholm
Kategori: Allmänt
Long workday yesterday, 9hrs, left home at 7am-ish and wasnt home until 6pm. Fell asleep on the couch in front of the soccer game twice, both for the first and second game, both quite boring games. Mr. C and I went for a really beautiful walk in and around our neighborhood and found lots of blueberries, we will have to go back sometime with a bowl so we can bring some home. It is really awesome how close to both nature and city you are in Årsta. During our walk we decided that we want to try and stay in Årsta even after we cannot stay in our rental any longer. :)
After our walk we ran into a hot air baloon launch on the field just 100m from our apartment, so we ran home, prepared our dinner that was already almost done and ran out to eat it in front of some free-hot air baloon launching-entertainment :) I will admit I got a bit embarassed haha because we were the only ones sitting there watching and eating. It seemed like a weird thing to do but Mr. C insisted we should, so we did.. and it ended up being great so good thing he convinced me.. sometimes I can be a butthead so I am glad I have someone like him to make me do things out of my comfortzone!
When we got back to our apt we just chilled, I was watching the Holland-Costa Rica game but as I said earlier I fell asleep haha I do not function very well on only 5hrs of sleep :P
Got a sore throat (probably from the lack of sleep) so did not run yesterday either, I biked to work today on my roadbike but did not go fast just cruised basically. I need to get going with my running again though, been slacking too much since the marathon. Hurt my leg/thigh/hip, probably wore it out a bit, so been giving it some rest. Have not ran more than 10km in one go in a month. So next week I WILL get started again! (Please hold me to it or ask me to come running with you :P)
Diabetes-wise my sugar has gone back to normal after my highs yesterday. However I really hate that every time I ride my bike I get low! Ate oatmeal for bfast today - it ALWAYS makes me high or close to high - but when I arrived at work my bs was at 4!! AAGGGHHH FRUSTRATION!! I even had a muesli bar on my bike on the way out to work. I wish I coul bike for at least 1hr before I start dropping - I definetely need to work on this because I am sure it is possible, but as anything else with diabetes things take time and (bad) experience to figure out. When my bs drops I loose all my energy which became really obvious on todays ride - I was passed by an old guy on an old cruising bike not even a roadbike and he wasnt even in work out clothes!!! haha Kind of embarassing, hope that doesnt happen during my Iron Man. I will be wearing a CGM (continous bs meter) during my race so I should be able to keep it under control - fingers crossed!
Working again tomorrow - so happy about that! I try to get as many shifts as possibly because I need the money! Probably will be doing some personal training with swimming this month as well so that should be good moneywise!
My ride home today was awesome!! Was able to wear only my tank top and tights and the city was so alive and vibrant, the sun was on its way down and I had some good music (one ear), SUMMER in Stockholm is FINALLY HERE- those times just make me euforic! Sooo now lets stay on this good feeling, tomorrow its monday - another week and more challanges awaits!! YAY :) :) :)
