Blow it Off

[shanmonster]

I had an appointment with a respirologist today. Biking there was helluva hard. It's a hot, smoggy day out there, and the heat is downright oppressive. Yet despite the formidable effort I expended travelling a mostly level distance, my lungs measured out pretty good. It would seem I am doing an admirable job at policing my lungs. In fact, when I did my lung capacity check, I came out normal (as in normal, non-asthmatic lungs normal). Of course, I still don't feel completely normal. I do have a residual cough, which presents me with occasional treasures from deep within my chest. But this is much to be preferred to the fruitless coughing that seemed to serve no other purpose than to almost jettison my eyeballs from their sockets.

I was told not to run today. Meh.

But I am going to go teach my dance class.

I shall run tomorrow, or this evening, after the heat has diminished and the smog has given up the ghost.

Tomorrow, I'm off to London to see the last Ontario leg of the Left Spine Down tour. If you're in the London area, make sure you check 'em out. They're playing at Call the Office (216 York Street) with Robin Black. These guys really know how to put on a show.

And now I must go teach people how to raise and lower their hips....
