Running with Alzheimer's

The February issue of Runner's World tells the story of a man documenting his Alzheimer's Disease while still trying to run....I'm a runner with a family history of Alzheimer's....reading some of his symptom's really opened my eyes.
These past 2 days ( pre-reading the article) I keep asking people at work if they smell smoke. They look at me strange and say NO....he talks about smells no one else can smell.
He talks about numbness~ my right thumb has been numb now for almost 3 years....the chiropractor blames it on carpal tunnel syndrome.

Jeesh....talk about a wake up call I don't want.

Anyway- please take the time to read his story. It's inspiring.
