10K / Low-sugar diet (again)

Managed to complete a 10K today...the first one in about ten years.  The best part of that was, I felt almost no pain in my knee, and still don't, several hours later.  The second best part:  it wasn't too hard. I wasn't pushing myself in terms of pace, but I wasn't lollygagging, either.

I think I'll be ready for that 10K race in Fremont in January...at least, now I know I'll get through it. 

I'm also thinking about completing at least one Olympic triathlon next year.  The two races I have my eye on are the Monte Rio Triathlon in June, and perhaps the Santa Cruz Triathlon in September (but I hate freezing-cold ocean swims...will probably look for an alternative).   I'm pretty sure I could get through an Olympic triathlon even now...but the goal is to finish without being completely wiped out.

On another subject:  I completely bailed on the low-sugar diet yesterday, ate about five cookies. Today was better--so (sigh) December 11th is my new start date.
