[QUOTE="Snapsy, post: 1430653, member: 265172"] Wow and wow! What a great piece - an inspiring read! I had ALWAYS let my diabetes hold me back. From a lot of stuff, actually - career, family planning, yes, and exercise. I woke up one day and thought NOW* I'm going to get fit. So I did. Lot and lots of trial and error to get the confidence in my micromanaged diabetes to actually get started. Mostly error. Then I got my pump. Then I started running! And I LOVE it. I'm not fast, nor even steady, but I've been enjoying it. On Sunday I'm running the BM10k in celebration of the running freedom I am getting from my insulin pump. People have been so supportive and have really got behind me. Erm I have got a slightly knackered foot, so probably I'm going to be behind [I]them, [/I]but still...... I WISH I had had the courage to get out there before and just GO FOR stuff. What a WASTE! So thank you [USER=129246]@Type1Bri[/USER] and [USER=346453]@brighty14[/USER] . You're inspiring me anew, and letting me know that I CAN. Love Snapsy :) *yup, I gather that can happen when a girl turns 40........... ;) [/QUOTE]
