GOT ATHSMA?
30% of diagnosed asthma cases actually aren't asthma. They're VCD, AKA Vocal Cord Dysfunction. How can you tell the difference?
Asthma is raspy when exhaling.
VCD is a rider (whistle) when inhaling.
VCD feels like you're being choked, making you cough a lot.

Today is too hot
Run, I will not
But then come Fall
I get beat by them all
When @wunderground's website forecasts 5-10mph winds from the SSE, but the phone app forecasts 5-10mph winds from the North? Make's it hard to plan a long ride!

Running is hard at first.
It gets easier.
Then, one day, running just happens without thinking about it.
Just under a half-million students run XC each year in the United States. Thank you for making this sport great!
We all know that kid who doesn't run all summer, shows up to XC season out of shape, and misses out on the whole racing season just getting in shape.
Don't be that kid!
Start now!

94%Hell no. I’ll feel awful.

We couldn't agree more with this statement. Running is a sport that requires consistent effort and patience over an extended period of time. There are no quick fixes or shortcuts to becoming a successful runner.
The meaning of life isn't found in the first step, or the final step, but in all the steps in between.
