Japanese slow jog

[Scout37]

Asthma was being a b**** this morning, so I went with a Japanese slow jog.

The sun was shining, the berries loading the bushes and the sky was blue. So it was quite nice, all in all, though I do prefer breathing properly. Heigh ho, you can't have everything. So long as I stuck to really slow and smooth it was OK, but wouldn't have dared push it. It fitted quite well into this mix it up week, having done a Stepping Stones and a Jeffing, a slow one was about right.

Still, I was out, and think all I can do now Autumn Asthma season is here is go with my body and do what it dictates. As long as I can do something!

So, that's today's report, happy running all.

Air quality wasn’t great here today - I had to use my inhaler, too! Glad you managed to enjoy your run, slow jogging is good! 👏👍😀

[Scout37 Graduate in reply to nowster]

NOOOO! Not that music...

[nowster Graduate in reply to Scout37]

What would you prefer? A pan pipe version of Girl from Ipanema or Wheels Cha-cha-cha? 🤣

[Scout37 Graduate in reply to nowster]

Actually I quite like The Girl from Ipanema...

My mild asthma seems to be more to do with humidity/air quality.

[Scout37 Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

There are many different triggers. The absolute worst for me is catching a cold or flu. Always followed by weeks of coughing, wheezing and debilitating inability to breathe properly.

I hardly knew I had astmha all summer.

Autumn asthma? I have mild asthma but I thought it would just be restricted to spring and summer 🤔

[Scout37 Graduate in reply to Maxi80]

Mine hits badly every Autumn, improves for spring and summer. Triggered by cold and damp not pollens.

[Maxi80 in reply to Scout37]

Gotcha. Mine is grass and pollen and dust (I really should hoover!)

[Scout37 Graduate in reply to Maxi80]

Plus what I have is poorly controlled asthma, to give it it's proper name. More like brittle asthma really, connected to severe rhinosinusitis. Which kind of explains why it's worse in colder weather.
