#runnerswithasthma

Just a nice slow run in the wet, cold and fog. Believe it it not there are mountains back there. This was also my mental state. Drizzly and foggy. Well I finally figured out why I have such a hard time breathing. Went to an ENT and discovered I have a deviated septum and polyps and other assorted junk that is blocking the nasal passages. The good news is that it can be fixed with a little outpatient surgery. I am just wondering why in all the years I have been seeing allergists and doctors, no one came up with the idea to CT scan the sinuses? Oh well, can’t dwell on the past. The future is looking good. #mfactorfitness #bigmanruns #runnerswithasthma #halfmarathon #running #runnersofinstagram #runnerscommunity #runnerslife (at Parker, Colorado)

Very challenging race today. Well I guess when you go to race put on by #runuphillracing you should expect a bunch of hills. I thought I did a great job but there were a bunch of faster runners today. Somebody has to bring up the rear. I really wanted to work on breathing in through the nose during the race. I am a chronic over-breather due to the whole asthma thing but I think it helped. I didn’t get as winded or beat up as normal. Just one more thing to work on. #bigmanruns #mfactorfitness #runnerswithasthma (at Bear Creek Lake Park, City of Lakewood)
