For your visual enjoyment.   Check out the link for the color definitions.  No, I am not running in this.  I will hit the gym.  Reading up on inversions we need a massive wind to remove it.  None coming up in the forecast for the week.  We are stuck in smuck.  Be thankful those of you outside the red zone.  May your runs outdoors be ever so wonderful.   Update:  10 miles at 8 min avg pace.  4 around the track, 6 on the TM.  I have a lot of tread missing on the bottom of my running shoes.  That must be why my bones have been aching the last week.  If I had time I'd post a picture of them.  They are PRETTY SCARY.  The fore and heel are destroyed.  Oooops.

Good thing you are running indoors! You should come to Kansas we are well in the green!

From JulieC on Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 12:22:54 from 63.228.217.206

Yes I would love to run with you in Kansas. It must be something to do with being in Tornado alley. Mighty "Oz winds" lifting out the bad and settling in with the good. So nice.

Our winters and the bad air makes me want to move. I ran inside today, I wasn't going to subject myself to that.

From Smooth on Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 18:40:37 from 174.23.217.47

I heard the air is better up at Park City!

From AmberG on Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 23:36:28 from 209.33.225.111

Oh just move south!! ha ha jk. Thanks for all your 'blister advice' you left me! You're the best! Sorry about your air!

From josse on Tue, Jan 12, 2010 at 12:53:45 from 75.216.38.107

I would move down south if my husband would and I have thought about driving up to park city to run.
