Plan to cut back on asthma medication in an attempt to get some measure of health back.  In the recent training, I've been using medication daily to help my breathing compensate for a lack of recovery.  In 2011 I was able to go 3 months without meds, and then I started ignoring that and using the meds again so I could "train harder" more regularly.  Instead of pushing past what cortisol levels I have, then supplementing my lungs with corticosteroids, I'm going to try and get back to not using any medication again.  As such, I was a little tight in the lungs last night and this morning and couldn't go as hard during this training, but feel much better after it.

I plan to let my body improve without the aid of meds, instead of continually pushing past to see what I can do.  Mentally challenging, but good for me in the long-run.
