Inspiring story: Fearless marathon runner defies MS

Hi,

I just wanted to share this video about an amazing lady. I really fell that I have no excuse to start running again.

I hope the link works.

I love stories like this! Did you see the couple in their 60's who also ran a marathon every day in 2013? They become healthy in order to beat her breast cancer a decade ago.

I feel like a major slacker -- not even ONE marathon last year! Not even if you put all my runs together.

I have a friend who has MS and runs marathons. He ran in the Boston marathon. His sister also has MS and unfortunately she has to use a wheelchair. They are both in their late 30's.

Don't feel bad, I don't think all the running I've done in 50 years would add up to a marathon

Wow, five hours a day every day. How does she have time for that?! It's amazing, yes, but wow.
