Thursday September 8 - Day 157

Oh what a day.

This is currently day 2 of the no smoking attempt (attempt #eleventy billion in case you're counting).  Emotionally, I'm a freaking space case and a hot mess.  Seriously twisted.

My plan today was to do whatever workout he sent, clean up, go to dinner with my friend/coworker and then go to the Patriot Game - it's the annual Police vs Fire basketball game, in honor of the victims of 9/11 and to help support The Healing Place (which I think I found where I want to volunteer my time).

100 cal on bike
5 stair runs
5 rounds - fast

Now, ya know I have asthma, right?  Since I've started working out intensely and with Crossfit stuff mixed in, I've had to use my inhaler during two workouts.  The first was when I first started and the 2nd is when I first tried to quit smoking in January.  Today, made three times I've had to use my inhaler and give up on a workout.

I got 2 full rounds in and then at the beginning of round 3, my coworker ran upstairs to get my inhaler for me.  It was horrible.  It knocked me on my ass.  It was not a full asthma attack, but it was enough to kick my butt.

We cleaned up, went to dinner and then to the game.  Fire lost, but it was a good time anyway.  I'm done for the day now.
