"I can't breathe!"

Wednesday, April 1, 2009

Distance: 7.5mi. (run (for the most part); outside)

Chip and I made a workout schedule (yes, we're THOSE people). Wednesday is my day to run to his work to meet him and run back home together. Like I said, I've been having respiratory issues, but I'm used to them. Today, after running a bit with Chip, I was frustrated because I was struggling to run and I think I wasn't paying attention to my posture or form and my throat started closing up and I couldn't breathe. It was kind of scary. That's never happened to me before. I had to make myself calm down and focus before I could start up again. I eventually finished the run, but not withough hyperventilating once again. I think I'm going to do some research to see if there's something I can do to alleviate this.

Anyhoo, tomorrow is a gym day, so hopefully I can find the energy to do some strength training, stretching, and speed intervals.
