165

For a young, healthy person, I've always had borderline high cholesterol. Ever since my first cholesterol check as a 105 lb college sophomore, my cholesterol has been between 195 and 210. I had my first real physical in many years a couple of weeks ago, and my blood work came back today. My total cholesterol is just 165, and all my numbers (triglycerides, LDL, HDL) are right where they should be. Hopefully running will keep me statin-free for many years to come.

I managed a long stroller walk today, and will hopefully hit the treadmill for a short speed session tomorrow at lunch. It's a busy week, but I'm finally over this cold and determined to keep up my mileage.
