I know you’re all waiting to hear the latest in the “Gemma can’t breath” story, mostly because I know my Mum reads this and it saves me having to ring and explain it all. This afternoon I went back to the Doctor, apparently my peak flow is in the perfectly normal range, which makes me

Last night as I drifted off to sleep I wondered if today I should go swimming as today is my last day with access to a pool, or head out and run again. When I woke up this morning to a dusting of snow my decision was made for me. I decided asthmatics with chest
