I Remember Running

spent all day Friday reading it.

Must've not had a lot of big words, or it was translated into ebonics?

I'm going to die not soon enough.I tried butt sex from my
neighbours, and became the victim of AIDS. Complications in
hospital following this resulted in full blown (pun intended) AIDS. I now need a boner
transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a boner
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a boner donor:

Sounds like an important piece of work.

One year, now dead?
A rapid progression.
Only she knows if it was a blessing ...

Your web link for boner doner does not work.

After not being able to run for 7 weeks and getting on the nerves of
everybody I know...a friend last week bought me a book called, "I
Remember Running" - Darcy Wakefield. I could not put the book down
and
spent all day Friday reading it. Darcy Wakefield died on Saturday at
age 35, R.I.P Darcy Wakefield.

You could also read John L. Parker's "Once a Runner." 😉

Thanks for the link. Very sad story. I can relate somewhat to how you
feel. It's been 6 weeks for me since I've ran because of plantar faciitus.
Sad thing for me is that it doesn't feel like it's getting any better. I've
been sleeping with a brace, but last night didn't to see how it would react,
and it was sore when I awoke this morning. Although I'm sure I'll run
again, even if in pain, I appreciate what Darcy said: if she would have
known it was her last run, she certainly would have appreciated it more. I
can certainly relate to that feeling. Guess I was taking it for granted.
Thanks again.

A great 4 minute time investment is to listen to this woman describe
her reflections on running....which you can do at the link below.

I'm sure your local bookstores have the book, below is a description.

A little over a year ago, Darcy Wakefield was a single, 33-year-old
athletic, workaholic English professor, a vegetarian who had never had
a serious health problem or injury. Then she was diagnosed with ALS,
and her world turned upside down. I Remember Running is Darcy's story
of change and loss and challenges during her first year with ALS, as
she struggles to make sense of her diagnosis and redefine herself in
the face of this terminal illness. With unflagging courage, wit, and
eloquence, Darcy shares what she calls her "fast-forward" life, a life
in which she applies for disability, leaves her job, and plans her own
funeral as well as meets and moves in with her true love, buys a house,
and gives birth to her first child in less time than it takes most of
us to accomplish even one of these things. Beautifully written and
wholly inspiring, I Remember Running proves that it is possible to live
a rich, meaningful life after being diagnosed with a terminal illness,
and will move readers to see the world in a different light.

If anyone deserves the label "Real Runner", I'd say she is one such
being.
That verbal essay was inspiring and sad. If the book is like that it
must be great.
Something to put on my Christmas wish list.

Thank you Ed. I don't care what they say about you, you are OK in my
book.
