Always Thankful
It is really important to always be thankful for what we are able to do…to run! I don't take it for granted and I want to do my best every day…If I look out of the window and it's cold and rainy and don't really feel like running, I have to change my mind-set and become thankful that I even have the opportunity and the ability to run and I want to use that ability to the fullest. Having two relatives with MS, I've really become a lot more thankful for what I can do…that I can RUN! One of my relatives isn't allowed to walk too much and has to roll around in a wheel chair everywhere she goes and actually talks about the time when she will no longer even be able to do that!....which is really scary to think about… I've always been thankful and have understood that running could be taken away from me somehow, but now that I have really witnessed the worsening of my one relatives disease, it really strikes closer to home, closer to the heart and I have become more appreciative.
"Approximately 400,000 Americans acknowledge having MS, and every week about 200 people are diagnosed. Worldwide, MS may affect 2.5 million individuals."
