Hey y'all,
I'm a long-time lurker but first-time poster :) I saw this article in Runner's World about a runner with Wegener's who is the 448th American to run a mile under 4 minutes! Some hope that there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Hope you're all having a good-illness day!

That's an awesome story, and thanks for sharing! I shared it on Facebook. Nice to meet you and glad you have stopped lurking! I did it for awhile, too....

Great story of an amazing feat. I couldn't even run a mile and this guy had a rather severe case too. WOW!!

Hi nething and welcome.

I read the story that Anne posted on facebook and it has been shared around in many Wegeners Groups. What an amazing accomplishment.

Lurking is great, nothing wrong with lurking - we all did it
I'm so happy that you decided to post something. Looks like we finally hooked you and reeled you in :thumbsup:
