I am not surprised that your doctor is a bit unsure what to do now, as he has already prescribed most of the safer alternatives [safer in terms of pharmaceuticals] that he can. His only other choices are a long-acting beta-2 agonist (LABA) or a cortocosteroid inhaler, both of which have worse side effects [and if I'm not mistaken the FDA has put out a warning about LABAs].
You can tell your doctor that you are willing to try these if you really want to take the risk in order to keep running and/or you can try the Buteyko breathing method, which is natural and safe but must be used in conjunction with the meds that you are already on. Learn about it at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buteyko_method.
I wish you luck — I am also asthmatic and I know how annoying asthma attacks are when they stop you from doing the things you want to do.
