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.

Had to stay overnight at the hospital and was not discharged until late in the day.  Have some restrictions for the first several days.
