Makes sense. I appreciate the detailed response.

I did my 3rd New York City marathon yesterday in 4:26. The weather was great and the crowds phenomenal. Now on to Tokyo in March to complete the 6 world majors. My legs really tired at mile 18 forcing me walk some. After Tokyo, I think I’ll race only half marathons or less. My body breaks down to much with marathons now at age 53.

Bryce Young was a much higher pick than Daniels will be and he suited up for his team regardless in a non playoff bowl game. Will Daniels do the same?

Alabama took out an insurance policy to protect him from injury. I wonder if LSU would do the same.

LSU 45. BAMA 34

I've got Mint Mobile which uses T-Mobile. I had no problems.

Not looking good for the Tigers. We are not peaking at the right time. I’m not optimistic we get to Omaha.

Based on your numbers, assuming you do not take blood pressure lowering medication and your blood pressure is normal, your 10 year heart attack risk based on predictors is around 1%. Based on this, you would not normally require a Statin. As a physician, the concerning thing is your elevated coronary calcium score. I am generally ordering this test when I have a patient who is on the fence about beginning a statin. If the coronary calcium score is elevated, I typically begin a Statin. Regarding ordering advanced lipid panels, I do not order these, as they do not change what I do most of the time. And when they are ordered, they almost always suggest starting a Statin, which can be determined with a basic lipid panel as well. Statins are not the end all answer, however. Typically you need to treat at least 30 patients with a Statin to prevent one heart attack. My recommendation is to eat a good diet. Rather than wasting your money on supplements, eat fresh fruit and vegetables, as they are cheaper and better for you. Exercise regularly. Live each day like it’s your last.

I ran Boston yesterday setting a PR at 3:54. My quads are more sore than normal which I presume is due to the first few miles being downhill. I was amazed at how the city really gets behind the race. Next up for me is the Berlin Marathon in September in my quest for the Abbott world majors.

ETA. I wore my LSU visor while running. I bet I heard over 400 Geaux Tigers.

For a charity runner spot did you have to raise funds or "Write a check"?
what makes this a bucket list race for you?

---

I wrote a check for the minimum donation required (10K)as well as rose another 1K in donations. I normally donate to different charities but this year most went to the Red Cross.

Regarding bucket list race, I want to complete all 6 of the Abbott World Major Marathons. I have already done two: Chicago (2004) and New York City twice (2005 and 2022). Boston will be my third star. I am also registered to run the Berlin Marathon on 9/24/23. That only leaves London and Tokyo.

I’ve run it for the last several years. I run with my son. As he never trains like he should, we always have to walk over half of it. The only plus to that is that free beer is everywhere. If I’m going to walk, might as well have a drink. The best part of the race is people watching.
