So, I thought I'd hit the gym and run 2 miles (which, in case you didn't know, would be a record for me. I have exercise-induced asthma). I ride about 10 miles per day, and I'll have to swim a half mile at the upcoming triathlon (which shouldn't be a problem). Running or jogging, however, has always been a sticking point. My body hits an exertion "threshold," after which the airway attenuation hits me hard and fast. Even with the inhaler (something I've used just for that purpose), I've still only gone around a mile.
So, I got to the gym and found that I had lost the drug cylinder out of the inhaler.
And then I went and ran 2 miles without it.
My legs feel like strip steak, but I'm still smiling. :)
