Steps...

Alrighty then... I'll put it in writing... I'm (with Pam at my side) going to complete a half marathon before 2009 limps into history... want to come a long?

I'm now off antispasmotics (in prep for spinal fusion) and completed 5 mile walk today in 83 minutes... (shaved a whole 3 minutes off last attempt)... I'm pleased that I didn't have much clonus at the end!

It's was about 4 months ago that I took that first step in my recovery from paralysis... My goal with the half marathon is to walk and finish... It's a personal thing AND if a "cripple" can walk his way to health, what's stopping you?

There, my New Years resolution is out... Join me in making our "Lifestyle the best Medicine"

Hey Ron, Good to hear about your progress and your goal. I ran the Columbus marathon in 2006 and the 1/2 this last year. Its in October... its near you.... its very flat and the temps should be good for that time of year. Your in my thoughts and prayers.... tell Pam hi.
