I decided a new year meant a new goal – a 5k! \u00a0Well it doesn’t look like that’s gonna happen at this rate. \u00a0My exercise induced hives which I’ve had since I was a teenager started acting up yet again today. \u00a0I only ran a quarter of a mile and walked the other mile I was gone. \u00a0I saw an allergist in LA that said to eat something before walking outside to see if that would work. \u00a0It didn’t. \u00a0And that was just walking to the gym from our apartment, not even working out outside. \u00a0Oy – I just can’t win! \u00a0I’m hoping that if I take some Benadryl before my next run it’ll help but that’s if I can stay awake for it. \u00a0Benadryl knocks me on my butt – I don’t see how I could possibly exercise or take care of Brady after taking it. \u00a0So then on top of the hives, I also had burning in my throat and coughed for a good 30 minutes after I got home. \u00a0My mom has asthma – is it possible I do too? \u00a0Or even just exercise induced asthma? \u00a0Casey told me today that cedar fever is under way here in Texas so I’m guessing that might have something to do with it – all those allergens floating around out there. \u00a0So hives, burning throat, coughing, and the weirdest weak out-of-it like feeling possible does not make for a successful run. \u00a0I know I can’t jump right back in to where I left off (which wasn’t doing very much then either) but still I’m feeling pretty hopeless at this point. \u00a0Is it even possible I can finish a 5k without being in itching\/stinging\/coughing\/dizzy pain? \u00a0The end part of that goal was to run the Cap 10k in March which is definitely not happening now. \u00a0One New Year’s Resolution out the window. \u00a0\ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
