Mile Run - 10:22

3 months ago
22

First run in 20 days. A day or two after I ran a 10:01 mile, I developed a cough even though I want sick. It got worse at night and seriously affected my sleep. I finally went to the doctor about it last weekend and it turns out my childhood asthmatic cough has returned after decades of not dealing with it. Today, my bronchospasms felt controlled enough to stress my lungs again. I ran a 10:22 mile. I'm very happy with that time given how much time I took off from running. I don't know how comparative it is to my last run though because I went a different route today. Still, it was a good outing. I only ran the mile and walked for another mile. I didn't want to over do it. I'm wondering if part of the reason my bronchospasms came back was I was pushing my lungs too much. So, I'll ease up a bit again. Hopefully this doesn't become a permanent thing, but I've lived with them before as a kid. I can live with them as an adult. At least my inhaler gives me relief! Here's to being up and running again and finally getting my mile into the 9's.
