...signed up for a FULL MARATHON!

I'm not going to let fibromyalgia define who I am. I won't let it take me down. And if it ever does overpower me, I want to know I was able to cross the finish line of a 26.2 mile race, even if I have to walk part of it. I'm going to GET "ER DONE!!

    I do not want to rain on your parade. Because if you can do it, YOU GO GIRL!.

    But just make sure you check with your doctor and listen to your body.

    Good luck all the same.

    Thank you. I plan to train with a friend who is running alongside me. If a blind person can run a half marathon that I ran 2 weeks ago and a girl next to me had MS, then I can do it with fibro. It's mind over matter. Can't let something like some tremors and joint pain scare me. It's all about moving.
