So it looks like I am doing everything wrong as far as increasing miles goes. I know I am only supposed to increase by 10% each week. Well this week it may end up being closer to 500%! This huge in crease is more a factor of how little I have run the previous two weeks, but I am also quickly approaching 40 miles for this week. If I make it a perfect running week and manage to eke out a seventh running day tomorrow (which I plan to do) then I will more than likely crest the 40 mark, I only need 4 more miles…
Despite increasing way more than I should have I feel great. No strains or overly tired muscles. No lack of desire to run. I am doing well! My pace all week has been relatively slow, maybe that’s why I feel as good as I do, or part of it anyway. I have also been able to stop eating at night for this time which also makes me feel good physically and mentally. Even the ms issues with my thigh seems to be abating somewhat or at least they are at the moment.

Running has been my passion since college. I never competed until almost 20 years later. To me running to win was never the goal, running to run was more what I am into. When I was diagnosed with relapsing/remitting ms my first thoughts were how is that going to change my life. I am determined to answer that "not much".
Imagine this. I’m not sure if you are familiar with tread machines, but I managed to walk 15 minutes at 0.7 on the speed gauge. That’s a record for me post MS!
Yeah me! You keep inspiring me. I wonder if the next time I go (tomorrow) i should do 15 again or go for 16 minutes. It’ all very exciting! 🙂
OMG that is great! Congrats, you are doing so well! Jeez I wish I had seen this earlier I would have been right there with you on day two! How is it going now? Have you increased your times? Don’t over do it, let your body adjust to the activity. I can’t wait to hear back from you. Send me an email if you want marco@hiredhandmedia.com Nice work!
