I'd get that lung checked out, if you haven't.

I agree, you're way too young to have that sort of complaint.

oh oh I did have it checked.. there is nothing that can be done..

when I was 14 I had pneumonia. I had it really bad in my right lung and it actually nearly killed me. I had it for about a month before I said anything about it. if you knew me you would say that figures, becasue I am one of those people that refuses to quit or stop.

before pneumonia, I could run a 5 min mile and run all day long infact. 5 miles a day would have been no problem

after pneumonia I have to run 3 days a week to try to get back to a 7 min mile. it took me almost all of my last year of high school but I finaly got down to 7 min 12 secs. I thought the pain was going to kill me..

I tryed and tryed after that to "learn to live with it" but to no use. I would run 3 times a week when I was 18 and out of school, but I will never be able to.

so I have been to have it checked and they tell me short of removing the lung there is nothing that can be done to repair the damage. so.. I dont worry to much about it.. that was a long time ago

I do ride my bike and hike and swim.. I work out at the gym almost everyday.. so im in good shape, not worried at all. just some things will take me longer then others is all
