Hocking River Partner Run

This is a weekend I have wanted or needed for some time. Relaxation, no responsibilities. Beautiful, warm weather. Time with family.

Then there are the moments I walk into the garage to grab a beer and suddenly and without warning, I begin to cry.

Distance: 3 miles, mostly running
Route: Hocking River Bike Path
Temperature: 86•
Climate: hot!
Mood: concerned

The girl and I ran the bike path, she has issues with breathing. A touch of asthma, which doesn't prevent her from playing soccer and futsal or running, but it does make it challenging. Recently a physical therapist suggested it was actually a breathing spasm which can bring her up short, and taught her breathing exercises to carry her through. But it's still not easy. It's her unstoppable determination that keeps her going.

So we ran, walked a little. She said her legs were numb, her face. It was also very hot, that might also have had an effect.
