So the test results came back today saying that everything they tested on was normal, so my doctor believes it's inflammation of the lining of my lungs. They apparently can't diagnose it, or make it stop, but time should help. Just gotta let it fix itself. :(

So I don't know what I was thinking, but I decided to try to run. I felt bad for not running on saturday or yesterday, so I wanted to say that at least I had tried. I was origionally supposed to do 30-45 minutes a day this week, but that didn't happen yesterday or today. I started running and it killed but I thought that maybe it would warmup, so I kept going. I luckily knew the mile mark in this run, and when I hit a hill just before it I knew that there was no way I was finishing out. So I ran until the mile mark, and stopped and walked home. I really just hope it heals fast so that I can get back to running.

Later, I felt pretty good, much better than earlier. I decided to try to run again because 1 mile just didn't cut it for me. I tried the same exact loop, this time making it the whole way. by the mile mark, where I stopped last time, I felt great!!! I just kept going, and found it to be such a great accomplishment to make it to Sugarhouse Park. I did a lap in there and came back home. 4 1/2 miles there, which puts me at 5 1/2 for the day.

Just looks like I need to choose the right time to run!
