Today I will be logging this week's #runforsteem run as initiated by @jumowa. I'm really grateful for this initiative as running is a big part of my life and has been for quite some time so it's fun to talk about. It's been nice to connect with other Steemit runners as well.
Today I was nicely surprised by 70* degree weather here in Frederick, Maryland. As some of you may know, it has been cold here for a while which has been bothering my asthma. I stopped taking prescription drugs for my asthma about 8 years ago. I still keep an emergency albuterol or primatine inhaler "just in case" but, I can't even remember the last time I had to use it as I have learned breathing techniques to help namely forceful exhalation when I'm in a flareup.
Normally cold weather will irritate my asthma. So the warmth was nice. After about 1.5 miles, I had no asthma irritation whatsoever on a SEVEN mile run. Hurray! My pace held pretty steady at 9:35/ mile and completed my run in 67min 11sec.

Thanks for visiting my post. Stay well & take advantage of your weather. Even if it's cold or crappy out, get out there even if for a short while.
