Q & A With the "Rock Doc"
QUESTION: I recently found out I'm subject to mild bouts of exercise-induced asthma (EIA) during my workouts. If I need medication I'll take it. Since the symptoms are fairly slight and intermittent, I was wondering if there isn't something else I can do first?
-Joey B., Battery Park City, NY
ANSWER

The year 2007 will mark the third running of the Arizona Distance Classic, comprised of the Valley of Gold Half Marathon, Northwest Medical Center 5K and Splendido Senior Stroll.
