105 Days to Race
I had a very full day today. I helped my sister watch her kids at the first birthday party for one of my cousin's kids. They had little pools in the back yard and there were about a million little kids everywhere. We all had a great time but, as my niece and nephew are without fear, it was exhausting.
I was very glad to finally get home. I realized that the one day of rain we've had caused green stuff to sprout up in my yard. I won't say it was grass because it wasn't. Well, technically I guess it was--crab grass. I knew I needed to mow. I also knew I needed to run. I thought I'd mow first and go for a run with my sister later in the day. Front and back yard done with minimum fuss. I even avoided fire ant bites! (I'm allergic)
I got to take a shower only to get dressed to go get sweaty again. I picked my sister up at her house and we drove to a local school to use the track. I needed to run three miles so a track wasn't really the top of my list of places to run tonight, but she needed to do some speed work. She needed a track.
I'm running along and begin to realize that my breathing isn't going so well. I slow down some, but my breathing isn't getting any better. I do have asthma--exercise induced at that--but I'm on a daily controller medicine and use my rescue inhaler before every run. I haven't had problems running in ages. Today it felt like I hadn't used anything. When my sister finished her work she walked a lap with me--I was able to finish two miles. I came home and took Benadryl. I hope it was the combination of exhaustion and pollen and dust kicked up by mowing. Perhaps also that my inhaler is nearing the end of its life. I really don't want to have to deal with medicine changes again.
