Can't...breathe...

It was really sunny and warm out yesterday, so when I woke up to another sunny day today, I figured it would be another warm sunny day again. I'm dying for the nice weather to be back, and to be able to exercise outside again. I decided I would walk home from breakfast this morning, so I put on a jogging suit that is appropriate for spring/fall weather.

When I walked out of the house, I realized it was much cooler than I'd anticipated, but I figured once I got the blood pumping, I'd be plenty warm. I had a nice breakfast with Lanie, and then I hit the streets. It's just a 2.5 mile walk home, so it's not that far, although it's a bit hilly. It's a really nice walk, and the last stretch is all along the water. I was really looking forward to it.

About one block into the walk, I realized I was freezing, and I was having trouble breathing. My asthma reacts very poorly to the cold, and I didn't have my inhaler on me. Half of the walk home, I had to hold my sleeve up to my face to breathe into that so that the air I took in was warmer. I wanted to do some jogging, and I did for a tiny bit of the way home, but I couldn't really because of my breathing problems.

I really enjoyed the walk home, even with the asthma issues, and when it gets a little warmer, I would like to start walking to the restaurant both ways. It's a nice 5 mile round trip walk that is broken up by breakfast and nice conversation. :)

Today I started my personal training and sports nutrition consulting certification course. I found one that was much less expensive, but it's still accredited, so I enrolled immediately. I'm looking forward to working on that over the next few weeks.

Although it's a bit cold out, it's a beautiful, sunny day today. Darcy and I are going to do yoga later on, and I'm going to work on my trainer course, and probably put a few hours of work in, but other than that, our day is wide open, so we shall see where it takes us!

Have a good one!
