I knew that when I got this job that I would have to start working out again. I have actually needed to for a while, but now that I sit for a living, I am not willing to lose all the progress I have made in my dieting. I still walk home every night, which helps, and not having a car means that I walk where ever I want to go. But, I need more than that.
Yesterday, I felt twitchy. In a way that I haven't felt since I was 12, I guess? I just felt restless and needed to run. I didn't because I am currently without inhaler, and I prefer to not die in the street. It has gotten me thinking, though. I want to jog. I have wanted to be able to for a long time. I never could because of the not being able to breathe while running thing, but I might give it a shot now.
As it turns out, it was the dirty air in my old job that was making my asthma so much worse than it was before. I didn't even realize it until I started reading about natural healing in dealing with asthma. It says your environment plays a big part in your asthma problems. Finally it occurred to me that mine only got really bad a month or so after I started working at that job.
Now that I am not there so often, I am better. I don't push myself a lot, re: no inhaler, but I did try to run up the stairs of the skytrain station one day last week. I was out of breath at the top, but I wasn't struggling to breathe as much as I used to be. I think this is a good sign. Maybe someday I will be able to run. To run, and just let my mind go where it wants to.
