Of course at the first sign of  blue sky I headed outdoors.  Honestly the indoor quality of is not much better for me.  Since I have so many sensitivities to fragrances I think it doesn't help me that much to run indoors except perhaps for Monday when we were in the red.  We are still in the red but at least it doesn't LOOK IT.  Can actually see all the mountains.  A big sign for me to head outdoors.  Did a nice 10 mile loop on a snowy path below Lone Peak High school coming from American Fork.  Ran down Cedar Hills back roads to home.  Avg pace 8:13.   Last three miles 7:21, 7:11, 6:49.   Got a little bronchial cough at the end so I guess air quality still poor.  Oh well, much better than indoors by a large margin.  1/2 mile cooldown.  Off to orthodontist.  Lots of changes happening fast.  Braces off soon.  One month  :D.

Way to go Julie! So glad those braces are coming off, maybe you will feel better--almost California time!

Hi, Julie. It's fun to hear about where you run, because it's close to where I grew up. The memories! Yay for getting braces off!

I'm not running Riverton 1/2 because it's three weeks out from Boston and my husband and I decided to get a good quality last long run in instead, then hobble to the race and help out however we can.

Hey Prez. NICE mileage and FAST pace! SO GLAD you got some blue sky and better air today. YAY for the braces coming off soon! That alone should make you feel like a new person!
