Well this made me feel like an underachiever!

I'm all for it! I've done 3 marathons, walking from start to finish. At the end of each i swore I'd never do that again :-) Do another the next day? And the day after that? And the day after that? I don't think so!

I do believe that activity is the enemy of MS. Being as active as we are able helps strengthen our bodies for the fight.

I definitely saw it before, but I'm not sure if it was here. It was about the time she finished them in July. Here's my concern, though. Marathons are not easy on the body. Completing just 16 has caused issues for my father-in-law! 366 of them would be a nightmare for joints, knees, hips, feet,  on perhaps a long term basis.

I'm not sure I'd take the approach of celebrating my continued mobility while having MS (which no longer affects mobility as much as it once did) by doing something like this which is almost guaranteed to be detrimental to my long-term mobility. I was just a real head-scratcher for me! But then again, I never got into running!
