Congratulations to long time patient and friend, Jim Miller of Essex VT.
Jim completed a sub 3 hour marathon recently that placed him in a a very elite group of lifetime runners. He ran a sub 3 marathon in every decade over the 6 decades!
He was the 4th person ever known to have accomplished this! EVER!
This is the reward of a lifetime of fitness, commitment, self care, passion and working through injuries and never giving up.
Jim is humble in his achievements but granted me permission to post this due to our work on injuries over the years.
Congrats again Jim and let's see what the next 10 years bring!

Please everyone do your part. COVID -19 is exploding in many states. We do not want a resurgence in our communities. Let’s keep our community safe and please be kind.
Please persevere with mask usage! The world is still learning about Covid 19 and the information is changing nearly daily but with that said, there is no down side to wearing a mask or face covering when in public. It is inconvenient but even if we don’t know how effective it is,it does appear to be effective.

Dear patients and friends,
Dr. Marna and I are missing everyone! One aspect of our job that we love is talking with all of you when you are in the office. We would love to know what you have been up to, any projects you have conquered and how you have been working to stay active.
We have been walking as a family quite a bit and Ali is rehabilitating from her hip surgery, so her and I have been “working in”. Dr. Marna and I have engaged patients via telemedicine and that has been rewarding. We are really missing Kim and Nancy and feel that our Practice Family is incomplete! If you have an issue to discuss or an urgent need, just call the office and we can see how we can help.
We are wishing everyone well and appreciate the efforts of our community in keeping safe. We also want to thank our medical counterparts for their tireless work during this crisis! We treat many nurses, doctors and support staff and know what an amazing job they have been doing!!
As the weather improves and we get the chance to get out more, it is important to know about the air dynamics that we create and that are around us. Running, biking and even walking creates a “slipstream” in which those around us must pass through. This article frames these concepts well.
Exercise to stay healthy and uses these principles in your workout.You will be surprised at the distances recommend!

Yesterday morning a ring was found in the parking lot. It was most likely dropped on Tuesday (10/20) or before. If you are missing a ring and were at the office recently, give Kim or Nancy a call to describe the item.
Thanks
Hello everyone and welcome to November. This month is typically dreary, cold and dark. This week in particular, will be hard on many people in our community, state and country.
It is so very important to keep grounded and hold on to perspective and gratitude.
Travis Roy was an amazing person. He took an unimaginable situation and created a reality that was stunning. He passed away last week but his philosophy, personality and message will live on forever. He loved Vermont and was loved by Vermont. Please take a few minutes and watch this video. I think you will find it valuable.

Dr. Marna and I are big proponents of vitamin D supplementation. It is very common for Vermonters to have low vitamin D levels. The following article frames several physiological processes that vitamin D can effect.
We often recommend patients have there D levels tested with routine blood work but most people can safely supplement vitamin D3 without fear of being too high even without a current blood test.
The great thing about vitamin D supplements is that they are small in size, cheap in price and work well to raise levels.
We recommend 4000-5000ius per day with the goal of getting blood levels in the 50ng/mL
