Reminds me of my experiences hiking in the High Sierras before and after I started running. Not
quite *easy*, but much better, for sure. I just changed jobs to one where I can take the train and
walk about 0.5 (1.0 mile round trip) to work. Before I started running, this would have seemed like
an inconvenience. Now, I look forward to stretching out my legs a bit.

It's good isn't it! Although today I went swimming and was bad at it - I have no strength but plenty
of cardio fitness!

That's all very well, but to forget your inhaler yet continue to exercise may have meant instead of
swimming you'd have been decorating a morgue. That was an INCREDIBLY stupid thing you did, young
missy, and rating an 8 as a risk-taker will do you fcuk-all good during the post-mortem.

I strongly suspect that your father would have kicked your ass over most of Aussie-land for being so
silly. Yunno, perhaps the best way to keep someone we've loved in out hearts is to ensure that their
influence has made a positive difference our life. To this end, do you think you could manage to be
both ballsy AND sensible? If not for me, then for him?

Nah didn't forget it for the swim - did for the run though. My Dad is dead so I dont think he minds
what I do either way! Although I do have a letter from him telling me to take my ventolin when I was
14. I only have mild asthma and only recently diagnosed at that.

Thanks Miss-G-

Crikey! I know you're an Aussie but there's no need to be that dumb.

a) I read your blog so I;

was referring to your run, not your swim, know your father is deceased, know you father *would* care
about what you do.

b) Mild asthma can - if you're exceptionally unlucky - turn severe without warning, hence the advice
to 'always carry your inhaler'. Or maybe you thought that advice doesn't apply to wilfully
naughty masters students. Let's hope you're correct, 'cause it's a bloody silly way to die if
you're wrong.

Big deal. You made it through a 45 minute video. I made it all the way through "Dude, Where's My
Car?" Top that, lady!

Well considering I only got diagnosed with asthma around 3 months ago, and was forced to do high
school sports (naturally I was terrible at it because I couldn't keep up with everyone), I'd say
I'll be fine. Wasn't being wilfully naughty either, I plain forgot it.

Thanks Mis-G-
