9:00 a.m. 10 TM miles at the gym. 1:30:00. Getting downright tired of running on the treadmill. Sick of the bad air. Heading to Orlando on Monday and then to St. George when I get back on Friday. Maybe it will be better here after that. I'm still seeing people out running in this gunk. May as well light up a cigarette.
