Weeks 2, 3 and 3

Bad blogger!

My breathing problems continued for more than 2 weeks, but I chose to keep going and do what I could. What I could was generally running in 1.5 - 2 minute stints, then walking a lot until I finished coughing, spluttering and wheezing. It got pretty depressing and was part of the reason I stopped writing. I was frustrated that I couldn't get the asthma pump that I need, and concerned that I wasn't going to be able to do this.

I did 2 extra week 2 runs, and then 5 week 3 runs - alternating running 1.5 and 3 minutes. They became slowly, gradually easier but never easy. Always struggling to breathe and unable to talk. But the breathing started to improve and on Friday 16th I completed my last week 3.
