I Love Steroids

It's true; I do love steroids, corticosteroids. I have asthma, but for the last four years I failed to take medicine to treat my symptoms. Last week I decided if I seriously intended to train to run long distances, the wise decision would be to pay a visit to an asthma professional. I know, I'm brilliant right? Go ahead and say it. 

Anyway, the doctor I saw was thorough and pleasant. He placed me on maintenance therapy for asthma in the form of a corticosteroid and also provided a script for a rescue inhaler. After five days of taking the maintenance medicine, I could finally breathe on my run today. You'd be surprised what a difference that makes.
