That is so wonderful 2 1/2 miles wow I’m walking right now and I get phlegm in my throat and then I feel like I can’t breathe and I feel like I’m choking you know that choking aspect that you can get and it just scares me to death I called my husband to possibly come and pick me up but I always take a bottle of water and I somehow got rid of it it was scary I have NTM Mac and I think I should be using my inhaler with Celine in the morning every morning I’ve got to start doing that thanks for listening

Ah yes, Judy I can relate to that choking feeling. I learned in my early MAC days to always use both inhalers before I leave for my walk, and drink a bunch of water before & during. I also carry both inhaler and tissues with me so I can stop & huff cough along the way. Some days it works, somedays it doesn't.
We have been walking faithfully every day - early AM as day temps are now between 94-105 every day. We're also on "cactus blossom patrol" in our little community - they are late this year, but a few only bloom from 3/4am until 11am and then fall, so we are waiting...they are called night blooming cereus.
Today our walk will be across the bridge to the nearest Mexican border town, where there is a procession - Via Cruz - at noon, depicting the crucifixion. It is done in costume, with ominous drums, and the local people follow to the town square. Very moving.

I have a kind of asthma that acts up with exercise/exertion/allergies. I put it away during the winter, but I need it now, too.
Springtime here and looking at upper 60s today. I’ll be outside today for a walk. I hope you remember it tomorrow so you can enjoy your walk.
