33rd Street Loop/Maple Street Loop

I added a mile to the 33rd Street Loop, and jogged and walked the six miles this lovely morning in 1:08:48, with splits of 11:24, 11:17, 11:22, 11:34, 11:10, and 12:01. The last mile took a little longer since I stopped for water at my driveway, and attempted to test my blood sugar. That attempt failed. It was the first time, I believe, that I have tried to run with the glucometer I now use. It wouldn't turn on. Maybe it was too cold. It's working fine now, on my couch, with Pam and Jo watching. My blood sugar was at 168 when I started, and is at 111 now. That stuff aside, I alternated four-minute jogs with one-minute walks and felt strong every step. That was a 9:33:20 fifty-mile pace.

The Cincinnati Reds will attempt to sweep the San Francisco Giants this afternoon. I can't wait to watch.

With the score tied at 1-1 in the sixth inning, I decided to go for a walk, and walked the Maple Street Loop in 28:41.
