Gym Day #2
January 15, 2009
AF arrived in full force this morning. A fact which, combined with the fact that it was FIVE FREAKING DEGREES outside this morning, almost kept me home.
But it’s my gym day. So off I went.
The treadmill started off rough; I’m sore from Tuesday’s foray into running and I couldn’t get a good stride at first.
But I didn’t let it stop me. I spent a full half hour on the treadmill. And went further this time – close to two and a quarter miles. And ran more than I was able to on Tuesday.
My issue right now is my lung capacity – I can overcome the sore muscles pretty easily, but it’s harder to run when I can’t breathe.
Still though. It’s progress.

Good for you! I don’t know if I could have forced myself out the door this morning!

Hooray! Yay for getting out despite some easy excuses not to.
Lung capacity/breathing is what I struggled with most with running at first. Body-wise, I could push through, but breathing was tougher. But if this asthmatic can do it, you can too.
