2 Year Progress

Haven't met with the doctor since December but did have bloodwork done and numbers continue to look very good.

Total Cholesterol rose 5 points but the bad (LDL) dropped 4 points and reached the target level of 70.   Good (HDL) increased 4 points and is now only 9 points from exceeding the LDL>

TSH levels which we have been monitoring closely dropped slightly.

On the running front.   No new PR's this season yet but times in all races have improved over the same races of a year ago.   

Completed my first full marathon in May and plan on running another in Detroit in October.

One thing I've noticed this year is that most of my races are averaging a heart rate of 159.   Don't know how to interpret that, but thought it noteworthy to mention here.
