So I went to the Doctor yesterday to see why I've had this tickle in my lungs and a cough since I got done running 20 miles Saturday. During the whole entire run I couldn't get my breathing under control. I was practically gasping for air. Usually it takes me a mile or two to settle into a steady breathing but not Saturday. Afterwards I started to blame it on dehydration from too many margarita's Thursday night, but when the cough started, I knew something else was up..
I didn't stop coughing until Monday night but still have a tickle in my lungs. Well I told myself I'm to close now to just wait it out plus having once been told I have mild asthma, I thought I better go get it checked out. He agreed that we need to take care of it and set me up on Advair (an inhaler) and have had 3 doses of it. So far it's working great and the tickle is almost completely gone..
I'm running today at lunch for the first time since Saturday and hopefully it will go OK...
UPDATE:
and it did go OK... Did the scheduled 5 miles at lunch.. I had to stop a few times at stoplights and at the first stop I started coughing.. great, here we go.. I thought, but the rest of the time I didn't.. that's a good sign.. I went slow to sort of 'test the waters' and I felt alright...
tomorrow a.m. is another 5 then 22 Saturday. That will be the real test!!
