About Dave

I was diagnosed with MS about 8 years ago and I am one of the lucky ones. I don't have too many problems associated with it, and the disease has actually slowed down. I took up running 6 years ago just to see if I could do it. So far I've run 7 marathons in 5 years and 18 half marathons.

Not what I had planned

Posted on June 2, 2011 by Dave

This is a short post, but maybe my most sincere, err relevant, oh whatever. To set things up, here is the Readers Digest version. In November 2009, the company I worked for, Arch Aluminum and Glass, Filed chapter 11 bankruptcy.  … Continue reading →

You Asked, I Answered

Posted on May 8, 2011 by Dave

People ask me questions and I usually try to ignore them, but I figure maybe I should address their curiosities. You seem to suck at running marathons.  Why do you do it?   Well, there’s the old adage, “If at … Continue reading →

The Royal Wedding

Posted on May 1, 2011 by Dave

This post really has nothing to do with The Royal Wedding.  I thought if I named it that, I would get more people to click onto my site.  Pretty lame eh? Speaking of MS, I think that I’ve mentioned before … Continue reading →
