Right I'm not sure if this is my midlife crisis starting as I've recently turned 44. A lot of men may buy a sports car, it's something I do want but my finances won't allow it. My thing is jogging, some crisis.
It started off by me just giving up the drink for October, 4 days in and I am doing fine. The jogging part came about when my sister said giving up drinking for a month is just a lifestyle change (something we t1's know all about). She then went on saying I should do something like the Great North Run next September as she did it and it's a goal to aim for. I said to her that runnings not for me and side stepped it. But while at work and bored out of my skin I thought that I would like to train and take part in some sort of 'race'.
Is it possible to train at the age of 44 as well as being a honeymooning type 1 (diagnosed June 2017).
All I'm after is some info on how to actually start training and keeping blood sugars at a reasonable level? I would say I'm quite fit and in better shape now than I have been in for quite a while so it may be now or never to do something like this.
If it's not possible then I will be looking at a bank loan and buying that midlife crisis car that I want.
Cheers John
