The challenge has been set and the 1st run is near.....the 1st Monitor Run 5K will be held in Carleton Park on October 28, 2012. All you have to do to participate (onsite or virtually) is donate $5 to team diabetes. All runners will be timed and results will be posted. Test yourself....which month will bring about your PB?
A tentative schedule for the remainder of the challenge has been posted under the "Monitor Run" tab above. If you'd like to donate your $5 online, simply click the 'donate' button at the top of this page. We are excited to announce a monthly ‘monitoring’ challenge starting in October. The Monitor Run! The challenge is for all of us to monitor our 5k run times. Which month will be your best? Complete the challenge for a special discounted rate on the BS run 2013! That’s running a 5k every month for the next 11 months.
Monitor Run Details When: Last Sunday of every month (there may be some exceptions due to holidays). Distance: Primary run will be 5k (some other distances may be added). Timing: These runs will be manually timed. Location: Each month the course will be in a different location around the city. Course route will be announced a few weeks in advance. Fee: $5 donation to Team Diabetes ($40 donation to will allow you to enter full year challenge). The Monitor Runs accept virtual runners! We know it might be difficult for some to get to F'ton every month so we're adding a virtual run to the mix. Registration fee is $5. All you have to do is let us know you are running, run your 5k around the same time as us (+/- one or two days), then post your run location and time. All proceeds in support of Team Diabetes. Now what's stopping you from accepting our challenge? Did you know that people with diabetes are required to monitor their blood sugar levels several times a day?
Blood sugar monitoring is a way of testing the concentration of sugar in the blood. The test is performed by piercing the skin (typically, on the finger) to draw blood, then applying the blood to a disposable test-strip. Diabetics, who use insulin, usually test their blood sugar 3 to 10 times per day, both to assess the effectiveness of their prior insulin dose and to help determine their next insulin dose. Blood sugar monitoring reveals individual patterns of blood sugar changes, and helps in the planning of meals, activities, and at what time of day to take medications. |
