This blog was started because of pure frustration at not being able to "keep up" with other runners. I love to run but my lungs constantly hold me back. The information I've found on the web is not helpful. Generic comments such as, "run with your mouth closed to warm the air before it enters your lungs" don't tell me how to run a 5K or half marathon, especially since the air is always warm in California.
If you are struggling with asthma, and love to run, comment on the posts or ask for information. Let's figure this out together. Read through my progress and tell me if you relate. Judging by the number of visits I'm getting, there are many of us who want to feel the wind in our hair and the bugs in our teeth. (I had one go up my nose the other day during a 5.5 mile hike up the mountain but that is another post.)
Can't wait to hear from you!
