Ah yes, spring is here (or close anyway). The days have been a lot warmer and I have even done my last two runs without the warmth of tights even having to strip down to just a single shirt. Pretty darn welcome I must say. Spring in Oregon brings some downsides though, mostly allergies. I think I have tracked it down to the pear blossoms for me, just kills me. But running does seem to help a bit. Today was the first really bad day for me and my headache is letting me know that the seasons are a changing. Still, I welcome the warmth, flowers and rejuvenation. Time to get my run on!

To top off my bodies reaction to the seasonal allergies I also have somehow managed to get bitten my a spider or something right at the top of my thigh. I have a faint welt about the size of a half-dollar and a considerable amount of pain similar to a bruise, Hasn’t kept me from running the last two days. I have acupuncture on Thursday maybe I’ll have her look at it.

Made another ms friend yesterday. Friend of a friend gave me a call to ask me some questions and just have someone to talk to. He has symptoms that are consistent with ms (as if consistency and ms could possibly go together.) He goes in for an mri today and then hopefully both he and his doctor will know more and he can plan a course of action. I wish him well.
