The Results are In

My cholesterol lab results arrived:

Cholesterol: 200 *
Triglycerides: 82
HDL-Cholesterol: 67 
LDL-Cholesterol: 117 * 

Here’s a good site that shows you what my levels denoted with an asterisk should have been:

I’m disappointed in myself since the numbers are up from the last test I had (over a year ago)… but lower than my initial test in December 2007 where I first discovered my cholesterol levels were high, and which prompted me to take running more seriously. 2010 has been hectic, and my marathon training has suffered a lot. I haven’t even run an 8 miler this summer, and should be doing that at least once a week by now. 

This is an eye-opener!
