The results are in and we are proud!

Today was a great day for me. I met with my doctor to discuss my annual labwork. Last spring, my numbers were not very good. That was what finally pushed me out the door and got me moving. I started the Couch to 5k program a few days after getting the results. Today I got to find out how much my numbers have improved. My doctor is amazed. Check this out:

                           Last Year            This Year
Blood pressure    122/80                111/60
Resting HR           77                      48
Cholesterol           206                    165
HDL                     54                      55
LDL                     135                     93

I'm also nearly 20 pounds lighter and I'm wearing clothes three sizes smaller! I owe it all to running!
