1 September
I had every intention of running the Striders 10km, however I woke up feeling extremely nauseous. This feeling remained with me most of the day and I felt a little guilty have missed my race, so I decided to just go for a run and hope for the best. I ran my usual 7km circuit, and pushed the paced in the last 3km running at sub 5min km pace.

I meet Deanne, Kerry, Ray and latter Helen for our Sunday run. We went in search of the "feral fence", but not luck we had easy access down Macquarie Street, Sydney Opera House and the Botanic Gardens. We ran a total of 25km at 5:50/km pace, and I was really happy to finish.
3 September
Rest day. I actually had the day off work on sick leave, as I still felt a nauseous and little off colour. For the record, I am not pregnant, I was diagnosed with diabetes roughly three weeks ago, so my body is adjusting to the medication.

This morning was one of our hard SWEAT sessions. That included 1 lap of the white fence followed by a jog recovery, then a 2nd lap of the white fence, jog recovery and finish with a 1km rep. This morning the wind was a real challenge and so was my stomach, so I just concentrated on my form and ran strong. I was pleasantly surprised to finish with a session PB. I have checked my records and I pleased with the significant improvement;
10 July = Lap 1 (18:17) Lap 2 (18:34) 1km (5:07)
31 July = Lap 1 (17:38) Lap 2 (17:42) 1km (4:42)
4 Sept = Lap 1 (17:22) Lap 2 (17:16) 1 km (4:34)

Nice pre-emptive strike - I was just about to start spreading the prenancy rumour too :-)
Sorry to hear about the diabetes Bernie but the great thing is you have it diagnosed and the medication is super-dooper effective these days. From the people I know they have really seen an improvement in general energy levels since going on meds.
I'll second what 2P says. At least now you know what you are dealing with.
Also I must say you never cease to amaze me when you train, you never use excuses! What a great session you've pulled off there.
Take care. Hope your body gets used to the medication soon.
Hope the nausea clears up soon. I don't know what you are taking but if it's metformin, I use the Diabex XR version as it has less of the gut side effects and can be taken only once or twice a day. And yes as Lorna probably told you, it did take a while to see results from it.
I'm happy to chat if you would like.
