I have fun every time I run, and have recently overcome the "I can't go fast anymore" hurdle.  I'm having fun going faster and working towards becoming even faster.  

I have raised two running children, one competitive and one not.

I have learned to run in ice and snow and I don't complain. 

Short-Term Running Goals:

Work towards a faster marathon by Spring 2012.

Get my 5K down to 21:30. 

Place in my division at duathlon and triathlon.

Train for biathlon.



 




 

Long-Term Running Goals:

Joining Forrest Gump


 

Personal:

I'm a 52 year old mom of two ex homeschooled teenagers. They both think I'm nuts.

I've been researching exercise induced asthma and I don't think that is what I have!  Sounds more like a vocal cord dysfunction, which does not respond to asthma medicine.  I don't respond to asthma medication. VCD has many of the same symptoms as exercise induced asthma, but the airway difficulty is only in the vocal apparatus, which is why my throat feels so raw and my voice is still hoarse.  Seeing the real dr. on Thursday, but playing internet dr. is fun too!

I hope you took your hypocritcal oath. lol!

So how does one treat vocal chord dysfunction? Maybe try not singing while you run. Just kidding.

Weird, but I hope you get it figured out :)

Dr. Em. Interesting diagnosis. Meanwhile, you're workouts are looking good.

From auntieem on Tue, Mar 23, 2010 at 15:39:00 from 67.182.146.94

Don't know how you treat it! Singing is out, since my throat is STILL rather sore and swollen feeling. No more bad stuff happened during track, so that's good.

Good luck at the doctor's! And always remember - you know more than they do. ;)
