"Activity" is not the same thing as "Exercise": Allison's Running Trial

Week 5 Run 1: 32:00, 2.75 mi, 6.0 RPE
ZB 30:00, 2:30 after breakfast
Starting bg: 172 (Dexcom showed me riding in the 140 area)
Ending bg: 112 (Dexcom showed me riding in the 120 area)

-25% basal for two hours after the run.
0.5 units for 22g carb refueling immediately afterward

Now trying -10% basal at 2+ hours after the run. I went ahead and ate lunch and am curious how my bolusing is going to work out. I really want to wrap my head around how inflated my boluses are going function at x amount of time after exercise. Bc immediately after exercise, normal dosing would be really, really, really bad. So I want to get a feel for how to scale my boluses in proximity to exercise so that I don’t have to stress about potentially pancaking on my face somewhere.

Running gets easier if I inventory where I’m carrying stress while I run. I carry stress in a lot of weird ways in a lot of weird places. Very notably in my lower ribs, my stomach, and my right shoulder. And my hips. This is a work in progress.
