3.4 miles~~asthma recovery

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!
