30:2 Those are the magic numbers. Thirty compressions for every two breaths. Remember them!!
A blogger recently collapsed and needed CPR here in Chicago. So realizing it was used twice in just a few weeks, I thought it would be smart to pass on to all the runners out there the importance of learning it.
We pass our time in a sport that requires we know this. You can contact your local Red Cross to find a course in your area.
In the meanwhile, here are the basics: http://www.redcross.org/static/file_cont4979_lang0_1757.pdf
If you do nothing else, read it and remember!! And pass it on to your loved ones!!

Congrats to the new ultra runner!!! I cannot say welcome because I will never join the group! When I was in the Navy I had to learn to compress and to "kiss" a "collapsed" doll.
Great post, Lora. I totally agree with your advice.
Beyond good stuff! Everyone should know it (and be CPR certified!)
I am actually getting my CPR and AED certifications next month!
Thank you for spreading the message!
Wow - was the blogger okay?
Thanks for the post - definitely rekindled the fire to get recert asap!
(it's been a long time... I hope you've been well!!)
