  • Blog Post: What’s Next?

    Now that the marathon is well behind me (although my legs seem to still remember it) it’s time to figure out what to run next. I know I want to run another marathon in October or November, but I haven’t decided which. Registration for many of the popular marathons, like Berlin, have already...
  • Blog Post: Diabetes Doesn’t Slow Me Down

    I did it! I did it! I did it! Yesterday I ran the Tel Aviv marathon faster than I ever thought I could. The night before the marathon, however, I was certain I was going to have the worst run of my life. To start off... Read More
  • Blog Post: Tel Aviv Marathon – One Day Away

    For the past week I’ve been worried because I didn’t feel any of the nervousness I usually feel before a marathon. I have actually been nervous about not being nervous. But last night it finally happened. After everyone was asleep I got up... Read More
  • Blog Post: Approaching the Marathon: Thoughts on Life and Diabetes

    I’m five days away from my 5th marathon. I ran my first marathon 2 years ago, April 24 th 2009, here in Tel Aviv. I remember it well. It was harder than I’d imagined and it took me a little under 4 hours and 14 minutes. At the 25 th mile Jessica was waiting for me cheering me on with a three...
  • Blog Post: Shake, Rattle, and Roll: Sounds of a Diabetic Runner

    I woke up 247 this morning. My blood sugar has been a bit out of control since I got back from New York last Friday. While I was there my numbers were great thanks to my no-carbs-while-traveling policy, which means that I strictly followed the Paleo diet. But since I’ve gotten home I’ve just...
  • Blog Post: Taking It Up a Notch

    Running has turned into my addiction or maybe obsession, I’m not sure. This may not be a symptom of type 1diabetes, but it is certainly a side effect. So one week after the Tiberias marathon I’m training again. I don’t mean just running, I mean training for another race. Read More
  • Blog Post: Not Thinking of Diabetes

    Yes I did it, I finally did it. I ran a sub 4 marathon. It took me two-and-a-half years and four marathons to finally get it right. It was a lot of work.: training hard, eating well and figuring out how to control blood sugar levels before and during long runs. It also took some good luck. Read More
  • Blog Post: Perfect Balance

    I’m just one week away from the Tiberias Marathon and I’m nervous. I know I’m in better shape than I’ve ever been in. I’m lighter (165 lbs.), faster, and have trained well. I’ve run some good races to prove it. According to the Yasso 800’s prediction I should...
  • Blog Post: Will I Run a Sub 4 Marathon?

    I finally ran my last pre-marathon long run, and am now starting to taper off before the big day. Ordinarily I would feel great, on a high from the run and from reaching this point in my training. Instead, I am physically wiped out and am feeling very uneasy about the upcoming marathon. Until Friday...
  • Forum Post: Re: Distance Running Anyone?

    This is what I have been looking for! I am a type 1 runner and I have been looking for connections to other long distance runners, so I am pumped about this post and group. I have run 4 marathons and I am running my first 50k next weekend. I have a CGM but I do not have a pump. I know, I know, but I...
  • Forum Post: Who here lives in AZ and wants to be my workout buddy? :)

    Hi everyone! Trying to find other AZ T1 to work out with. I run 3-6 miles a day and play competitive soccer. I'd love to find someone who shares my passion to stay fit and healthy. Would like to do more rock climbing and try out cross fitness too....just need a buddy! Suzanne (age 30- glendale)
  • Forum Post: Re: Marathon--what have I gotten myself into?

    Hi Sandi, I've lived with diabetes for 39 years and am a runner too. Managing your numbers is very helpful to enjoying running. If Allie's numbers are running on the high side, running may not be a bad thing. However, I would caution about running a marathon at 15. Not b/c of the diabetes, but...
  • Forum Post: Marathon--what have I gotten myself into?

    Hi, I'm the mom of a daughter (Allie) with type 1. She's 15, dx'ed at 12. She has decided to run a marathon and started training this week. The thought of her running without someone to watch her every step of the way freaks me out, so I'm going to run it with her (hence the what have...
