Thumbs up A Small Victory
Just completed my first half marathon since my diagnosis! I know it's not something that would be recommended for a lot of people with MG, but running is what keeps me going! It was my slowest race (only by 2 minutes), but I still completed it! And to add insult, of course I forgot to take my Mestinon this morning before the race, which may or may not have contributed to my time (or maybe it was all those hills...)

Hopefully one day, Mike! Assuming you want to. Most people just look at me like I'm crazy...

It's always been about the finish for me! I'm not fast...just the satisfaction of crossing that finish line!
