Pollen grains are small (male) plant cells, usually yellow in color produced by flowers. For a seed to form pollen has to be transfered from the male anthers to the female stamen part of a plant flower. Some plants get insects to carry the pollen from flower to flower for them (rewarding the insect with nectar for doing this). Other species of plant rely on the wind to blow their pollen around. These wind pollinated plants (most grasses and some trees) need to produce vast quantities of pollen to ensure that some of it gets to a female flower and this can cause problems for people that are allergic to pollen, it gives them hay fever.
In order to warn people who suffer from hay fever when to take their medicines, the weather service measure the number of pollen grains in the air at regular intervals and publish this as the pollen count.

First, you need to check with your doctor to make sure it's safe for you to run with asthma. Do not run in cold weather, as this can make it difficult to run with asthma. Warm up and cool down before you run, and run when pollen counts are down (you can check out pollen counts at pollen.com). You could also use a protective mask while running, and it's also a good idea to run after it rains (this will ensure the pollen is washed away). Be sure to carry an inhaler with you, just in case.
