Bad Asthma Day (Grrrr)
After my great run yesterday I've been dying to get out and pound the pavement today but something was missing. My legs felt like lead and I couldn't get breaths down to the depths of my lungs. I came home after a mile. I've found a local 5k on the 12th November as well and was feeling quite chirpy about entering and using this as a benchmark. I'm going spinning at 4:30 to try and make myself feel better.Yesterday was a great day for procrastination and a bad day for study. I ran, went to the gymn and hit the cross trainer for a big hill, THEN went back at 8pm and swam a mile (goggles are a wonderful thins- does it make me an athlete that I now own a piece of sporting equipment?) I also internet shopped (La redoute, who do free returns so it won't matter if I send it all back) read a million blogs and dealt with the broken fridge freezer. Why do things choose to break when the Lovely BF is out of the country. I'm sure he thinks I do it for attention! So tomorrow will be dealing with the purchase of a new one (I've found a budget model for £170, but he's sure to want a SMEG or something)
This week's plans:
Monday- upper body weights and cross trainer
Tuesday- lower body weights and cross trainer (big hills)
Wednesday- swim and body combat
Thursday- upper body weights and cross trainer
Friday- lower body weights and spinning
Saturday- body combat and swim
Sunday- try and convince Lovely BF to take me for a run (and study!)
Down to 164. It would be lovely to drop 3 more pounds before Barcelona, but as I have two meals out this week t might be down to more luck than judgement.

I have the same problem with breathing... although I have never been diagnosed with asthma, I only get the problem while running. hmmmmm... could it be that I am 80 lbs over wieght??? LOL
You have amazing energy... keep it up!
Have you considered using your inhaler before your run? I have asthma, too, and have found that if I take two hits about 10 minutes before I run, I never seem to have any problems. It does increase my heartrate a little, but such is life. :)
Tigerlilly -- you may have "execise induced asthma" that only comes on, well, during exercise. Totally treatable -- my friend has it and continues to compete in tris and marathons.
knock, knock...
Clare? You in there?
Come out and play...we miss you out here!
