Do the Couch to 5k running plan (read all 34 entries…)
C25K: Week 9, Day 2 & Day 3 - Program DONE!

How Goes It

Day 2: Let me begin by saying it was a beautiful fall day. Cool crisp air and smells of burnt firewood tickled my nose. The cold air, however, was a harsh reminder about how I forgot to use my inhaler before the run, so towards the middle, I tasted something like blood in my throat. I don’t think it’s really blood, but it takes me back to last year when I learned that that was the indication about my asthma acting up. I managed to not only finish my run but tack on an extra two minutes; however, by the time I reached home, I was almost gasping. Good timing. So lesson here is… REMEMBER MY INHALER!!!

Day 3: I get sniffly at mile 1 – does this happen to anyone? I’m glad I brought a towel with me, because boy did I use it. The run was easy cheesy… Nothing to report; I just savored the moments during my last day in this program. YEAH!

Thoughts While Running

People using their phones while “walking” their dogs are so friggin inconsiderate! Not only are they not paying attention to others’ safety around their dog, but they’re not giving their pup their time. It’s sad. And it pisses me off.

I mentioned this before, but boy does this program make you skinny! I finally reached my first goal weight when I ran this on Sunday. Unbelievable.

Conditions

68° F, Sunny

Thank you!!!

And when you’re done with the C25k and want to go on to the One Hour Runner, it’d be great to see your posts there too!

I might, I haven’t decided yet which program I’ll use after this one. First things first :)

redstar is sorry to have been blowing 43T off

I get stuffy too when I run. More so when I bike. My doc put me on Mucinex for allergies and it works really well.
Iget a little of that dry cottony feeling in the back of my throat from it, but it works pretty well.
I dont know if you can take it with your inhaler, I have an albuterol one and she didnt say anything about there being a conflict between the meds, but I would double check just to be sure.

Medication

Funny you mention this, I actually take another med (nose spray) for allergies in addition to my three inhalers. The only problem is that it gives me the drips – nasty!

I do the albuterol thing too but only in emergencies because it makes me shiver like crazy along with other weird things for about ten minutes. But man that stuff gives a good boost to a run/biking session. ;-)
