PM: 2 miles with Anthony, then 7 solo, then a couple at the track just for fun. Ran an 800 to help a young runner out. We got to the second lap of the 800 and he was falling apart. It truly sounded like he had exercise-induced-asthma very badly, so I told him to pull up with about 100 meters to go as I was sincerely worried for him as his wheezing was unsettling even for me. When we finished, I told his father who was watching at the sideline, but the father said that he was, "just getting over a cold, so that's why he was doing that." Okay dude, you're right I'm not a doctor, but your son said he felt like his throat was closing, he was wheezing, breathing short, and it seemed like the only reason he was slowing down was because of his inability to breathe...
For his son's sake, I hope my couch-pseudo-diagnosis is very wrong.
Anyway, finished with a couple other 800s, nothing super fast except for the last one running with a couple runners, and then ran 1.5 miles back to my car. I d idn't mean to run 13 today, but it feels nice to accidentally run a half marathon I suppose.
