Stuffed 3/4 of the way. Finishing ok but the start is like lifting tons of
bricks through no oxygen. Reminded me of PE at school.

Yesterday made me think maybe I wasn't managing my asthma so today took
Ventolin. Felt better, but would like to train out of needing this.
Reached my towns limit today.

Light sweating at 2K mark. Haven't run through too dry stage yet.
Wondering if I'll get to the stage of replenishing with my own water
bottle. Maybe that's looking to far ahead.

Racecourse Rd Signpost | 4.2 K | The Bear jumped on my back and I had to walk some. | Why I don't like the drugs for asthma. Started to fast with my heart and breathing going at 100mph. |
Doing strength training and playing squash in between runs. Back to junior
rule number 9, "You have to be fit to play squash, not play squash to
get fit."

Start of my prepared training schedule. Because yesterday was such shit I
only done 2.5K, instead of 2mls, today - also having a game of squash.

The old injuries are only skin deep. My knee twinged today - reminding me
to heel-toe. I'm a slow runner anyway, training at 80% must look pathetic.

Not to bad, first run without a sweatshirt, just T'shirt. Guess I might
have to start preparing clothing/footwear etc.

Dog shit on the footpaths = residents wasting blood. This is the best
thing for me - forcing me to breath properly. At least while running, i.e.
through the nose. Sounds silly, but try telling that to an asthmatic.

Very nearly stopped today, apart from wind and rain. I am a starter in a
squash tournament tonight. So 200 Meters out, really lost confidence in continuing. I guess by keeping on going I have reaffirmed the priority
right now.

Finished my first early evening jog, nearly a full-moon. Interesting; a
bit worried at intersections, that I might twist an ankle or something in
the gutters.

Felt rat-shit - got a cold or something. The weather has been lousy.
Hautapu run has long straight roads, it was to much running into all the
traffic. Undecided how to run now, regarding getting behind my schedule.
Should I run the distance I feel like doing or what it takes to catch up.

Didn't start out to do this much, coming back from the flu. But I couldn't
turn back - so unless sick again I think I should do the distances now
even if I have to walk some.

A milestone today, as I needed to finish running to have any faith that I
could start the training. Brothers and sisters the deed was done.
Initially I was giving up because of recent health and future commitments.
Then it was The Bear but I just figured if it was only pain, I could run
through that.

Played interclub squash last night at 9:00pm, then running this morning at

going to play the spring pennant.
