Yesterday I went for a run when I woke up. The weather was  yet again perfect running weather so of course I had to make the best of it! I ran about 5 miles again – but honestly, it was a struggle. With the cooler air, I have more issues with my asthma. The cold air goes into my lungs and my breathing becomes harder. But I just slowed down when I felt like I had to instead of giving up and going home.  As I have said before — any exercise is GOOD exercise.

I’ve been watching the Discovery show ‘ Surviving the Cut’ about the military special forces training and have really been inspired by it. Not in the ‘i want to join the military’ way, but just the push yourself further even when you think you have no more to give. It’s more mental than physical. Your body can do it even when you think you are totally spent.
