Pat Report

Just got back from the doctor.

Things look pretty good.

Nothing is definite.  I might have asthma. Or, it might have been a really long lingering pneumonia.

I'm supposed to start coming off the albuterol and see how I do.

Running - I've been absolutely crushing it the last two weeks.  I'm over 25 miles for the month of February already (which is more than November, December and January combined).

But I'm officially cleared for my 1/2 marathon in May.  I'm free to run like the wind.

Injury Report

Had my doctor's appointment last week.  Still waiting on some tests.

But the doctor thinks I might have asthma.

What?  I'm 34.  Doesn't that sort of thing usually show up before now?

Apparently, adult-onset asthma is a real thing.

At first I was all pissy and depressed and worried that my running career was all done.

Now I'm a little more optimistic.  If we know what it is, we can treat it properly.

And hey... It's not cancer!
