OK, I paid attention to my brain and my breathing for you....
when my breathing comes into my mind- I automatically let myself breath heavy a few times, then I glance behind me, and blow out my nose to each side, and take a deep breath in thru my nose slowly. that settles me in again, and I forget about it until I start to get winded again, length of time depends on pace.
I like to breath thru my mouth heavy 3 or 4 times, and then blow out nose and take one nice long slow breath in thru the nose.
I read somewhere at some point, that the mouth breathing feeds the muscles the oxygen they need, but it is important to breath thru the nose some because it helps the brain from thinking it is so depleted and tired.
I tried breathing in thru nose and out thru mouth, and the holes in my nose are not big enough to keep up with demand.
Sparrows comment of looking out to the horizon really helped me today.

You can lie to everybody else and tell people that you run 6 miles everyday (even though you barely do 2 miles every two weeks), because it may make you feel better about yourself and you might even start believing that you are doing everything you can. BUT everytime you tell yourself in the morning that you are going to go to the gym (not smoke/eat healthy) and then don't do it you are setting yourself up for a failure.
