  • Nice! And, echoing your and most comments above. I despised running. But, now I know that's because I was doing it wrong. I wasn't taking enough time to warm up. My form sucked. (not that it's great now, but better) Had the wrong kind of shoes. Etc. Etc. Not trying to do a plug here, but a friend recommended it to me so…

  • Sidebar...your comment above reminded me of one of our favorite movies...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Name_Is_Khan
  • If you are a member of the YMCA, call a branch local to your travel destination and see if you can gain access as a guest. I have only recently tried this, but so far, so good.
  • *raises hand* Though, it does sound that you have it worse currently than I do. Moving out of my parents' house away from the dog/dust/etc. took me from where you are medicinally (not to mention the vaporizer albuterol jobbie as needed) to where I am today, which is just needing a puff off of the rescue inhaler whenever…
  • With three kids and a hubby on deployment, idaknow, maybe "very" applies for you. :) We only have two, and when my wife works late or vice versa...phew!
