First off- my Hoo-Rag giveaway ends tonight!
If you haven't entered, hop on over and do so.
I just got the new Hoo-Rag I ordered,
and winning would mean you get to look just as cool as me:
(little b-girl is telling me to smile big)
Okay, you will look way cooler.
Happy Martin Luther King day!
I celebrated by running 16 miles...
inside on a treadmill.
That is a record treadmill distance for me.
Previously the furthest I had run inside was 13 miles.
Possibly nothing to be proud of.
However, I refuse to run outside until this dang inversion goes away.

Our air is disgusting right now.
It is alternating between unhealthy for sensitive groups
(including people who are active outdoors)
and just plain unhealthy for everyone.

We live up a little higher in the foothills,
so often we can escape it a little bit- but not this time.
I have trouble with my sinuses anyway, so no running in this:

Gross.
The treadmill and I are becoming friendly enough.
Still ready to get back to running outside.
Someday...



No lie! The air is just gross! I live on the West Bench, and am fortunate enough to be able to run at the Olympic Oval instead of outside. This has got to be one of the worsted air quality winters yet. I remember some bad ones but nothing like this. The constant cough, the headaches… ya, just bad.
ReplyDeleteWow! What air quality woes indeed!
ReplyDeleteI worked 3pm to 3am last night, and convinced myself to run on the treadmill after work instead of running outside when I woke up. The air up here in Ogden is a little better than down south, but not much. I'm hoping to escape up to Snowbasin a couple afternoons this week, and breathe in the clear air.
ReplyDeleteEww that is some gross air conditions, hope that inversion goes away soon for you. Great job on the treadmill run though!
ReplyDeleteMan - I do not miss the winter inversions in Utah!!
ReplyDeleteUgh. My sympathies on spending that much time on Satan's Sidewalk.
ReplyDeleteWow! Impressive long run on the treadmill. Bummer about the air quality- I hope it clears up soon!
ReplyDeleteYou look so bad ass in that hoo rag ;) and rightfully so on that treadmill run!!!!! WOW girl!
