It was a good day. Noah and I ran the Oregon Spring Quarter Marathon today, and we both had a lot of fun.
Noah got 1st in his age group, and I got 2nd in mine. I was also awarded the 1st place Male "Masters" medal because the overall race winner was in the masters category, and couldn't get both medals. Thank you to everyone who supported me in my recent injury recovery efforts! This was totally unexpected.
I have now been blogging (off and on) about my health battles for three years, so it's time for an update.
I went to the doctor yesterday and weighed in 70 lbs. lighter than I did 6 years ago, and somehow 5 lbs. lighter than a year ago (maybe 5 half marathons since then had something to do with that). My A1C numbers have been good the last three years, so the doc says I'm out of the pre-diabetic danger zone, and he doesn't want to see me for a couple years. Woo-hoo! Thank you, running and healthy eating!
Keep battling out there. All the hard work pays off in the eventually.
