Around the Neighborhood Tonight I desired to get out and run, but not wanting to run in the dark country roads outside the neighborhood, I measured and jogged 3.3 miles on well-lighted streets close to home. I struggled to get into a comfortable breathing pattern, and now I am inside--still struggling to get full breaths. I'm not panting or gasping for air, but my airway is constricted more than usual and I am weezing. It is annoying and has me a little worried. Asthma? Could it really be bad air outdoors? Because I am frequently getting my exercise in higher elevations, perhaps I am used to the fresh air and haven't experience bad city air. I hope this doesn't become a problem. At least my legs feel good. |
