Last night I took my first full dose of rebif. The shot stung more than the others even though it is the same amount of liquid as the 22 dose (apparently they use some sort of filler for the lesser doses.) I laid down after taking it and felt a little dizzy, sort of like when I took my first quarter dose, (maybe it is in my head?) I woke up this morning feeling sort of out of it. Not really the flu-like symptoms (I took my ibuprofen) but more like sort of dizzy, almost like I was having a sinus attack or something. So I added a claratin to the cocktail and another couple of ibuprofen before I went on my run.

The run went really well this morning. I didn’t have my usual seizure at the start, it didn’t come until 1.5 miles into it. Then I only had two more, at 4 mi and 6 mi. Even my cool down was seizure free, although I did experience a couple of head rushes doing my side stretches (that has been normal since I have been doing them (since college when Danny Gonzalez told me I could lose my stomach if I just did side stretches. I didn’t lose the stomach, but the stretches are good. More on them later.) Overall by 7.8 mi run was pretty fas too. On my long straight stretch near Reed there was a woman running in front of me about a block ahead. In the mile or so that I followed her, I caught up to her and edged her out (she had crossed to the other side of the street, so I didn’t come up behind her or anything.)

The other nice thing about this morning is that I had a nice light rain, my favorite running weather. The canyon wasn’t too muddy, although the foot bridges across the marsh were a little slippery despite them being non-skid. Actually it is the plant matter that falls on the bridges that gets slippery. Anyway, a great run.
