ASTHMA!!!

I am so frustrated!!! I have been doing awesome with my workouts. I am always improving at my P90X workouts. I love the Keno Po (Karate style) the best. I'm dripping in sweat. But I feel so alive!!! I love to exercise, its so powerful , liberating just amazing. Its not so much work for me anymore which is great. I just sweat like crazy and then I feel so energized. Sure I am sore-- ofcourse the workouts are tough but I'm passed the point of wanting to sleep all day afterwards. I just feel great. HOWEVER.... when I run forget it!!! I don't understand! I can workout practically two hours, dance all night, bike 25 miles, swim etc etc walk for miles but when I run my lungs give out WAY before my legs!!! Today I thought I am going to run half of the time. Now I don't do a light jog. I power walk then feel inspired by an incredible blood pumping song and I start to RUN, really run... and I feel on top of the world , just amazing then after a couple of laps, I can't breathe!!! My chest feels like an elephant is sitting on it, I am gasping with no inhaler in sight. My body wants to push for more ( at least my legs do) my spirit for sure and then my lungs say NO WAY!! Every time I go to the legacy center (which is every wednesday) I push myself to run more ... I'm improving slowly but i just can't breathe. (I don't like having asthma can you tell!)I really can't stand to jog it is too slow and Not liberating at least to me. I'm not going to give up!! I'm just so envious of the other people (and many of them are out of shape) that just keep running lap after lap after lap and I WISH I COULD!! I usually pick somone to follow who looks great and is not even breaking a sweat and I draft them (just like racing a car) So in time I hope I can improve , breathe and finally have my spirit match my body. For now I am super happy with every thing else my body can do and I am grateful for that : ) My own little personal victory is that I'm the same weight I was in highschool but in much better shape. I am leaner, stonger, toner and my endurance is much better. Good luck to all of you who keep pushing to achieve your goals. You can do it! ANd we will all be healthier for it. And thats what it is all about to be healthy enough to enjoy life and be out there doing anything we want ; )
