I sincerely hope that both of us will be having this conversation in 20 years time....Good luck with the search Meg....
Hi Bob
depending of course on your full diagnosis and your Consultant some treatment may be necessary to prevent a worsening condition, stopping running may not be enough .
Something that is obviously important is avoiding a decrease in your stamina, you are clearly very fit now and it would not be good to lose that.
Walking is good 'fast enough to talk but not sing' as they say and I am sure the consultant will come up with a plan for
moderate excercise.
I could never give up my daily walks not just because of physical stamina but from a well being mental health point of view, I might go mad if I had to
.
After a busy time at work the first thing I did on getting home was change my clothes/walking shoes on and out across the fields.
I hope you don't have to wait too long to see the consultant Bob....
