Feeling better than expected.

Rebekah: I am mildly concerned/weirded out that I am running much faster with zero difficulty and/or injury. Today I ran four miles at under 7:30 pace and could have gone more. And since my asthma was nonexistent, I was barely winded, like, not winded at all. Just sweaty.

Rich: Well, first, how does your training over the past year compare to other times you’ve trained consistently? You might just be in the best shape of your life. You never even did distance running as a sport until your senior year of high school. Look how talented your brothers are. And running in Oregon [as opposed to Kansas or Colorado] may just treat your asthma really well.
