Welcome back to the podcast! Today we have a fun storytime episode about the 10k that I ran two days ago as a non-runner. Let’s just say it was a very eventful day, and there's a lot to debrief on! Whether or not you have type one diabetes, this is a great episode to listen to if you're prepping for a race, trying to get into running or simply just trying to exercise more.

Time Stamps:  

  • (08:17) Why I almost backed out of the race 
  • (12:48) How I approached managing my blood sugars that led me to stay at 100% time-in-range
  • (16:22) What made me surprisingly emotional while running
  • (19:02) How I managed when my CGM disconnected during the race
  • (20:33) The three main takeaways that I learned as a self-proclaimed “non-runner”
