On a very hot, 84 degree morning, I took a couple puffs of my inhaler and jumped on the ratwheel and ran 2 - 12 minute miles and walked a half mile at 4 mph. It's so nice to be able to cool down at 4 mph instead 3.2. I thought I was badly out of shape, and I am as far as running goes, but my walking speed as increased quite a bit.
After walking, bouncing, and running in NY . . . and visiting family, I'm homesick for home. I would love to move back. It wouldn't be far to travel for big events and training would be so much easier on my lungs. It felt so good to breathe without being aware of it or having to really give any effort towards it. My hair curled like crazy and wouldn't stay the way I styled it, but I can live with that! I would simply have to find a new hair style to go with the curls. :)

Training for a 4 miler on the 4th of July.
Ran a little over a mile in the dark tonight. I thought my lungs were going to explode. OUCH! I am so out of shape. Had to take my inhaler. I'm taking Zyrtec in the mornings, per doctor's order. He didn't like the idea of me provoking a small asthma attack before I go running. He said that could provoke a bigger, more serious attack. So, it's back to the grind and starting out slowly . . . very slowly.
I ran out of thyroid medicine again and am anxiously waiting for the doctor to call back with a prescription. UGH!
