And on the tenth day...

Tenth day update! The mucus has thinned so much it is almost gone. I can talk properly for the first time in 2 years. I was borderline with blood glucose levels and kept getting hypos if I didn't snack every hour or two, that problem appears to have gone. I am already thinking of my life in terms of before K and after K, it's staggering...

10 days into K and I did my first outdoor 5k run of the year and I was a full 3 minutes faster than any of my 5k runs last year. It's official, my exercise tolerance is loads better with Kalydeco ;-) I feel like I have another gear while running, I haven't really felt like I had another gear since my twenties, maybe my teens...

I also used to get headaches after the runs as well. No headache today! Was a bit rattly a few hours after the run though so I think it did loosen some teeny plugs though.

Exercise, fitness and fainting

So the snow has melted and with it the excuse to not exercise. Even though if it's still cold and it's hard work. For some CF reason my base (after a month of doing bugger all) fitness is a lot lower than everyone else in our bike club; so while they can get to the top of the hill and take nice pictures like this one, I'm at the bottom of the hill still cycling like a madman trying to catch up, grrrr! I will get there one day...
