Asthma Attacks?

Last night after work (before i could talk myself out of it), i went to the gym. Its probably been a good month since i have gone (embarrassing). If you are wondering what i did, it was this....(hopefully soon i will be sporting this purple sports bra and biker shorts number)

thats right, i was running. And i ran and ran and ran until my legs were tired (only 2 miles...BABY STEPS PEOPLE). I have never done this. I always run for a minute or two, and then i switch to walking for 5 minutes...the cycle continues. I have never been able to run 2 miles continuously without stopping. Not even when i was in my peak physical condition in high school and was going to various sports practices with gym visits on top of that. I never understood how people could like to run. Or hike. Those two activities always made me want to die. UNTIL my doctor gave me this....
my new best friend, THE INHALER. Yes, thats right folks, i have some sort of exercise induced asthma. I always just figured the burning in my mouth, throat and lungs(literal burning, like flames), the shortness of breath, the wheezing from the beginning of my workouts till the next day, was something that people just dealt with. Which is why i tend to shy away from the treadmill, and choose the elliptical...Anyway, no more. Its not that i like running now all of a sudden, but i didn't want to die and i didn't have a coughing attack all night keeping me awake.

Now i'm just a total nerd with an inhaler. Great.
