Despite worsened asthma symptoms and a long recovery from a cold virus, I have been positive about training and running this month. Given that I lost all the endurance I had built up earlier in the year, I focused on getting back on track and running shorter distances.
The weekend long runs are down to about 1:30h to 2h's of slow hike/runs. Earlier in the month, I would find myself exhausted after these runs, but my energy seems to be slowly coming back. During the week, I have been getting up early, to get a 30-40 min run or gym workout in before the daily routine. This is working well and I am hoping to keep it up over the summer. Being a long time insomniac, it is actually nice to stop the tossing and do something productive.
Tomorrow, I will get my asthma assessed. Big deal, because I don't like to take any medication. It is almost as if taking regular meds for this is an acknowledgement that I have asthma. Still hoping that my symptoms settle down once the spring pollen season is over. One thing is certain, I won't be winning the New Year's Resolution contest ;-)
