I found a message that says I've been here more than 5 years:

So I finished the book...

I didn't know what to expect, maybe a primer on running and PD. Lots of aphorisms similar to Just Do It and Git 'er Done. Learned that standing is more difficult than running because it uses more dopamine. And Steve Evans was the first marathon finisher to have had DBS treatment. He finished the LA Marathon in 8 hours, 40 minutes. The author had to stop during the same race to take his Sinemet, thereby missing a sub-4 hour finish time. By publication date he had completed 5 marathons, finishing times ranged from 4 hours to 5.5 hours.

I quit counting after running my 50th marathon, my best time was 3 hours, 40 minutes. my worst time was 11.5 hours because I suffered an avulsion fracture half way through the Pikes Peak Marathon. Nearly all my finish times were more than 4 hours.

I'd hoped for training tips but "Git 'er Done" may say it all. And Pogo's input: We have met the enemy and he is us.

I spent much of the day reading the book. Now I've got double vision in my left eye. Is that a PD sign?

I was searching for clues to respiratory conditions related to PD. Years ago I had a mask that would inhibit air flow, forcing the diaphragm to work harder. It was recommended for distance runners at altitude. I wondered whether it might help PD victims.
