Why is running the only sport that bothers my asthma?
It seriously is the only sport. I swim, cheer and tumble, and I’ve done other sports as well. I can swim a hard practice, about four miles, in 2 and a half hours and it doesn’t bother me. I don’t even need an inhaler. But I try to run ten minutes and my body kills [...]
