I have a Forest Gump philosophy about running. He felt like running but Forest Gump stopped when he didn't feel like running anymore.

"That philosophy embodies the essence of "running for the sake of running"—finding joy, peace, or release without needing a deeper purpose or external motivation. After running for 3 years, 2 months, 14 days, and 16 hours, Forrest stopped because he was "pretty tired" and simply felt done. It is a reminder to listen to your body and mind, embracing the freedom to start and stop on your own terms."

I think this philosophy also explains how PMR interrupted everything ... or maybe it was Prednisone ... I don't know. I didn't stop exercising as soon as PMR was diagnosed. I continued to work and I exercised. I was doing a 50 mile bicycle ride 5 years after PMR was diagnosed. I was on a higher dose of Prednisone when I hit the proverbial wall. I think the wall came tumbling down and I felt like the wall fell on top of me. It was all downhill after that but not in a good way.

Actemra has removed the wall that buried me but I still don't feel like running. I do walks and sometimes I get the urge to run but it doesn't feel like I'm running or anything that resembles running. I guess 15-20 years will do that to a person. I still get the urge but not like I used to.
