Searching for My Lungs

I never thought I would have ever had to run in cold weather. I was raised in Boston, MA so I thought I knew what cold weather was really like. I have also been stationed in Germany and also I felt I knew what cold was like. Well let me tell you my lungs told a different story this past Saturday here in Wisconsin. The cold here is like nothing I ever felt before. I had to run two miles for my PT Test and it was like 12 Degrees and the wind chill factor was like zero. After starting out I thought it would be nothing by the time i got quarter of a miles it felt like everything inside was expanding and wanting to jump right out my body and I couldn't breath. I bought a hood that covered my face to help out but I had to pull it down I just couldn't breath through it. Well by the time I finished the two miles I thought I was going to die. When I got back to the gym my body was so hot from the running and the added clothing I had on that when I stepped inside I went straight to the floor trying to catch my breath. It took a while for me to get it and ever since I been sick..
