Well, I didn't run for five days. I don't like doing that for a few reasons. First of all, it makes me feel lazy. Second, I'm afraid that I'll lose the ground that I have gained in my fitness. Third, I feel lazy. So it makes it extra hard when I am forced to not run.
I have been working at weeding books and doing inventory at work. Our school for some reason is VERY dusty, so I've inhaled tons of dust. I spent one day coughing like crazy. On top of that, we hosted several young people for a BBQ from Sarah's fellowship group. Of course, that meant we had to madly clean, and vacuuming and dusting were part of it. I think dust must be a trigger for me. I spent two days taking my nebulizer and trying to literally catch my breath. I am getting better at taking my meds right when I see it happen, but I had to wait to get home from work before I could take my nebulizer.
That said, I got out there a little bit nervously today. I ran about 2 miles before I had difficulty, then had to walk since my lungs were hurting and gasping. Of course, I haven't gotten smart yet and didn't bring my inhaler again. I just had to walk slowly and catch my breath. Surprisingly my pace was better than the last couple of days that I ran. I must have really pushed myself on the first two miles!
Here's to a healthy life!
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.
