Notes
OMG. I have no default for "pathetic and painful" in the "workout type" box above but apparently, I need one. I have been meaning to screw up my courage and do a run without using my inhaler first as I have a feeling my problem may be behind me. I so haven't wanted to experience the sensation of not being able to breathe though I have been slow to get to this little experiment. Well, this morning I just forgot! I went out the door and felt kind of awful right away. I wrote it off to just being slow to warm up. (An awful first mile is not all that uncommon even on a good day.) I didn't get far before I realized that I had forgotten to "inhale" before leaving the house. I had gone to all the trouble of getting out the door so I thought I would just eek my way through four miles, out two, back two but at the one-mile mark, I was a wreck. It felt like a giant hand was pressing down hard on my chest. I had to walk twice on the slow mile back home. Pathetic.
