ok commute today - asthma kicked in aftre a while and rather than stop and take my inhaler i just slowed my overall pace a little and tried to control my breathing - temps supposed to hit 80 this afternoon

because I commute so often and metro on days I don't commute I rarely drive these days so it was a considerable shock to the system to drive to NYC and back this weekend - absolutely horrendous - it had been a few years since we did it and I-95 seems to have turned into a vast parking lot - 8 hours for a 4 hour journey - I think I experienced all emotions, rage, frustration, resignation....unbelievable
