Foot is healing and Dexcom site is switched.<\/p>\n

Left thigh\u00a0doesn’t hurt at all but I am curious as to why the blood pooled around the edge of the sensor\u00a0(yep, that’s a skort in the pic… \u00a0I like to rock a skort regardless of the teasing I seem\"bikeshorts\" to keep catch about it) . \u00a0Anyone? \u00a0I don’t know why I’m so curious about this, but after all the blood upon insertion, I expected a big bloody bruise under the sensor, not around it…. Anyone?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So what’s next? \u00a0In a dramatic moment (read: insane), my sister and I signed up for \u00a0JDRF Ride. \u00a0No, not one of the BIG Rides, but a local one…. well\u00a0Jamaica….ummmmm Jamaica, Queens… which\u00a0seems far away\u00a0(right now) since I still haven’t figured out how we are getting there. \u00a0You know what else I haven’t figured out? \u00a0Bikes! \u00a0We don’t have bikes! \u00a0We *may* have a connection to borrowing bikes thanks to JDRF. \u00a0Great! \u00a0There is a 10 mile version to which I said, “pish-posh”. \u00a0I regret my pish-posh attitude now. \u00a0 I will be riding 20 miles. \u00a0I had no idea how far that was. \u00a0My training so far has been 2 Citibike rides.<\/p>\n

That is the Brooklyn Bridge in the background, which is part of the route of NYC’s JDRF One Walk. \u00a0This is also the view over my Citibike handlebars and my big huge purse strapped to the front. \u00a0My training looks wimpy. \u00a0My training IS\u00a0wimpy.<\/p>\n

After eating way too much unhealthy food over the 4th, yesterday I went to the gym. \u00a0Granted I have some sort of upper respiratory thing I’m fighting through, BUT I did a 1\/2 hour on the elliptical and then switched to a stationary bike. \u00a0I was good and sweaty and coughing and figured maybe I rode 10 miles. \u00a0I looked down. \u00a0Nope. \u00a02.16 miles. \u00a0Holy Smokes this going to be ugly. \u00a0How many spin classes can I go to in 3 weeks? \u00a0Eek. \u00a0Remember when I did that CYC (spinning madness) class for JDRF? \u00a0My sister and friend loved it so much that they\u00a0still take the classes! \u00a0I hope my sister\u00a0doesn’t mind me riding on the handlebars of her bike.<\/p>\n

Here’s the route (terrifying YET exhilarating and then a little “OMG” and then “those stops look fantastic”):<\/p>\n

\"route-295x300\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next up: I leave Wednesday for Washington DC for the JDRF One Walk Conference: Road to Success. \u00a0I’m excited and super curious.<\/p>\n

And finally, in the next few weeks I hope to have some updates on the AP trials which are to begin HERE in NYC. \u00a0Not holding my breath for my own guinea pig involvement and not getting over enthusiastic (so I keep telling myself).<\/p>\n

Keep advocating folks.<\/p>\n
