12 miles easy along the Samammish River trail. Perfect weather...mid 40s and partly sunny. I continue to have some trouble getting full breathing capcity out of my lungs. I feel like I'm only getting 85% capacity. I had asthma as a kid but kicked that in my early teens. However, every once in a while, particularly after a cold, I get a few weeks of this restricted breathing. No wheezing but just not able to take the deep, full breath.

Had something similar about 10 years ago while in the Army. Got colds pretty frequently then too. Really kicked off when I deployed to Hungary and lived in a tent for several months, and got to the point where I had trouble running from point A to B. Couple of years of mis-diagnosis by military doctors. When I left active duty, my new civilian physician immediately diagnosed me with acid reflux (GERD). Once I got on the right meds, got back to 100% after a couple months.

I only mention it because I didn't really get the normal heartburn signals during the day, but it really hit me at night. Went from 5-6 colds/year down to 0-1 too. Just a thought.

Hey Sean,

Scott Zicone mentioned that you are headed to OH this weekend. I'll look for you at the party! Good luck.

Randy
