I am a runner, not a crazy 125 pound 6′ guy, but a runner. I have done a marathon and several 10Ks, so like I said I am a runner. I put in between 20-30 miles a week on the Portland, OR roads. I own a running watch and several pairs of worn out running shoes that I can’t seem to throw away for some reason. I also have multiple sclerosis which I refuse to capitalize. I was diagnosed about 7 weeks ago, it sucks.

But I am not going to let it get me down or hold me back. My plan is to make running my best medicine, well at least as far as my psyche is concerned. I am sure the rebif (I also refuse to capitalize it’s name) is doing more for me internally, but running is going to get me through this. I am going to live with ms, so I might as well run with ms. I will let you know how it is goes.
