So I had my Cardiac CT scan today. Found a blockage. Have to be scheduled for a heart catheterization - possibly this week.

30 mins of Yoga in the evening.

AM - 2.5 miles of walking outside with Finn and then a Yoga session. Heart catheterization is scheduled for later today. Hopefully things will go well and I can begin resumption of running in a little while.

So I had my heart catheterisation this afternoon. They found a 90% occlusion in my left anterior descending artery and inserted a stent. According to my doctor, I was very lucky to have gotten this diagnosed in time to have avoided a bad outcome. Go figure — no family history, good cholesterol; non-smoking and an active lifestyle with a good diet. Anyway the good news is the doctor says there is no reason why I can’t resume my running and continue to do marathons.
