Sorry--somehow I missed the post until now!

Anyway, not broken my previous longest distance yet but got in 115 miles total during vacation! Did a 35 miler today and racked up 1735 exercise calories!!! :drinker:

Still fighting the dang blood sugar issues. On vacation, my levels slowly crept up--not high by any measure but still higher than I'd like; so, I went back on Metformin for a few days to bring them back down. Then, today, after my ride, I'm having lows again :grumble:

Anyway, I'm using my sports drink mixture on my rides and it really seems to help. And, today I took along better snacks--apple cinnamon bars and peanut butter crackers. I could have gone a lot further in distance today I think but my DH was waiting to pick me up along the route so we could do lunch out.

So, I think I've got the hydration/food during ride situation worked out at least.

I WILL BREAK THAT DISTANCE GOAL THIS WEEK THOUGH! I'm determined to do it and nothing is going to stop me--well, short of passing out on the side of the road


Thanks for asking!
