I was able to get out and run today for a 5.55 mile run. It has been a week since my "big" event, so this seems like a short run compared to 13.1 miles! I tried to push myself a little more and was able to run at an 11:37 mile pace. I wore my Vibram Five Fingers (and just learned that you say it Ve brums, not Vi brums...) and toe socks and felt great.
My breathing has been doing great so long as I use my inhaler before I run. I have been so lucky and not gotten so sick that I've been down for days. I had the one week bout that kept me from running for a few days, but it didn't get so bad that I had to call into work or anything like that. So running has done one of the things I wanted it to do, it has made me healthier.
When my hair began to turn gray abundantly, a kindergartener pointed to my hair and said, "Mrs. Wheatley, you have silver highlights!" So, I'm not turning gray, I have Silver Highlights! And I'm a runner. This blog is about my adventures as a runner and asthmatic. Read on to follow my journey on my weekly runs and many races.
