And did I mention asthma?

I was diagnosed with mild asthma last spring. When I thought I would start running. I started slow like you’re supposed to, the jog-a-bit-walk-a-bit routine, and started experiencing chest pains, although not while I was jogging (it would happen at other unrelated times of the day). So that’s another wrinkle in my road back to health. I started learning this summer about inhaling into different areas of the lung (I had been working on diaphragmatic breathing as opposed to chesty breathing already, but this is a qi-gong thing where you breathe into the back of the lung) in my tai chi class, but of course I can't do tai chi with an aircast on my foot. So much to work on, so little time (and energy)!
