Interesting cry for help up there…@Eric.
There is only one person who knows what that means.
And unfortunately it is not me.
But that one person is not the first person to do it… covfefe.

I was waiting. Figured somebody would go there.
But have to say you were not on the top of my list on that one.

There are very few opportunities where I would be… but how could I resist?

As I always like to say:
“Winners try running, jiggling!
Gotta love jiggling!
New gains ahead!”
Very poetic, @Nickyghaleb. I never realized anyone else used this same positive self-talk rallying cry.

Why the rad jiggle, girl? Never let joggler… never joggler… let never joggler get by… how you gonna let the joggler beat you?!
That’s what I was talking about. For the record.
Today:
Sept 19 indoor (1 mi warm up, 6 sets of 1/2 mi @ 8.0 and 2 min jog, 1 mi cool down)
No basal-IQ and no ZB
No coffee or anything for a couple of hours… was waiting, thinking it would start to drop a little, but the waiting just produced a slow drift upward in BG.
Tested at 202 before turning on treadmill so doing a .15 unit bolus. (Waiting another 15 min)
Starting BG: 167 (?!)
*Cutting basal
Mi 1: 168
Mi 2.2: 170
*.2
Mi 3.1: 155
Mi 4.5: 131
*Gu (don’t ask)
Mi 5.2: —
*resume
Cool down
Mi 6.2: 93 and done
*.5 bolus
Walk half
Off at 104
RPE a solid 6-6.5. Today felt wonderful.

That’s great! Nice run today. Did you feel okay at the end? Like another few 1/2’s woulda been okay?

Another few would’ve been tough but definitely okay. I even did my cool down at a 6.8/6.9, which just meant I wasn’t dying inside.

Went for my pre-op consultation today with the surgeon. I’m all set. We talked for over an hour, but I can only remember this:
-
He doesn’t care if I run the day before. Yeah, sure, he said. So… more on that later.
-
He does want me to understand I can’t run afterwards. Says it will be at least a week. There are many possible outcomes with this surgery, and he says it could also be much longer than a week. It’s not likely to be less. So I’ve got 11 days to do my thing, and then I’m down for a spell (and the people around here are going to suffer)…
-
That’s all I can remember.
Well, no, there also was diabetes talk. Which was mildly amusing. And then he asked to see my sensor logs…
Sucker. 18 minutes later, he told me he would let them know they won’t have to keep me overnight. He said it was because I seemed to know what I was doing, but I think he just wanted to get me out of his office. 
I’m about to go put up a post about fasting, both here and in my group. I’m curious what everyone’s understanding is because I definitely am no good at this part. Blah.

Alright, if he is okay with it, let’s race.
Sunday, right?
We will bring the overall training load down a bit next week and have a few easy days before race day. And then on Sunday you show me something, alright?
You have 6 miles that will get you through your recovery.
But I want you to follow a few segments on race day, and not go after it half-cocked at any pace you please.
We are gonna go easy, moderate, hard - 2 miles each.
Not hard, gasping, crawling across the finish.
So let’s talk about paces next week.

This is just really good news… because I was racing anyway. 
Now I’ll just do it better. 
Okay. Lemme get a hold of myself.
Yes. I’d like them to be something I feel good about.
Yeah, that didn’t work last time.
Okay. It’s only 6 miles. I think you just had me do that last week, and I didn’t do that so well either, but it was a much longer run. So I’ll stop thinking about that one.
Oh, my mom showed you pictures?
I’m listening.
