Cholesterol Woes

After 3 months of running regularly, I checked my cholesterol levels last week and I had good and bad news - while triglycerides tanked below 100, bad cholesterol(LDL) went to borderline levels. The good cholesterol increased marginally, but still way below normal. Drinking wine didn't help or may be I am drinking too little. Total cholesterol remained pretty low but with an increase of 5 points. May be it was the fried fish for lunch that caused the damage. Also I am wondering if I am getting enough cardio workout during my off-running days. May be I need to hurry to the cycle shop. BTW, I keep this cholesterol tracker around just to keep myself in check.
