one tiny leap for mankind.... i huge leap for andy,
ok this is going to seem very insignificent in the grand sceme of things but today i managed a full 15 minute run on the treadmill in the gym, i was one minute running one minute jogging 3 weeks ago and the trainer person said the goal was to do it all jogging which to be honest looked completely impossible, but today at 7:30 am i did it i almost held my hands up in the air like the marathon runners going through the tape but restrained myself, sorry this is dumb but i feel fantastic about it and had to tell someone....ok ok ive told everyone hehe, ok enough self back slapping, 20 minutes tommorow
 
Well done Andy, you've inspired me to try too :clap: What jogging speed do you set the machine at?
 
Thank you I set the machine at 6.0 at a 2.0 incline for 5 minute warm up then at 6.0 and 7.5 kph one minute fast walk one minute jog I slowly stretched out the jog to 2.5 minutes with four minutes to finish but today was all 7.5 jog at a minute of each a few weeks ago it was so hard in fact even the warm up was a struggle, I feel like i climbed Everest hehe, I don't think I ever achieved anything before. It's a huge big deal for me and feel like I can do anything now.... A unique day for sure, diabetes sure is a strange thing, I hate it but never would have known this feeling without it. Oh and everyone I see tells me how healthy I look, incredible really that it takes an incurable illness to be healthy, sorry I'm rambling ill shup
