CNN FitNation Carlos Solis first training day

When you get a call from CNN you return it. Or probably should. I am sure there are some cases where if you are the bad guy you don't. You keep running from them. Well Carlos Solis is one of the good guys and he is running for them. In fact ran his first timed mile in 30 years. In a very respectable 13:24. When asked he guessed he would run a 20 minute mile. He will be running sub 12 in the not too distant future with proper training.


And knocking off more time as training continues. That is one small aspect of my job here.
Carlos is a type 2 diabetic. Other complications can result from this condition if neglected and/or not treated properly. Exercise, diet and lifestyle are his triathlon right now. He will be joining 5 others from around the country to compete in the Nautica Malibu Triathlon next September. All along CNN following his journey. Dr. Sanjay Gupta plays a role in this and has his CNN health show on the weekends. Have a look at some of the videos from the newly chosen candidates(soon to be athletes) on CNN's FitNation page found on their front page. They just may have an effect on you. Did me. We have a long journey ahead. No journey I am not familiar with. Keep it up Carlos. You rocked today.
