Running Does A Body Good
Last year I took a blood test during my annual physical and discovered that I had an ailment called Fatty Liver, a common disease which afflicts people that drink too much alcohol or are fat (aka “obese”). I consume less than one drink per week so the cause was obviously my weight.
Though I didn’t share this fact publically until now, my Fatty Liver was the main reason I decided to start training for the Half Marathon.
Fast forward one year, I had my annual physical last week and my Fatty Liver is totally gone, and as a bonus, my cholesterol fell 30 points to 143, which I’m told is quite good. I still have 12 weeks of 25-30 miles of training to go, but my main objective has been reached.
