Today, the air quality went from moderate to hazardous with thick smog filling the valley. I still went for an easy-pace 11.8-mile run outside and tried unsuccessfully to climb out of the smog by running up to Skyline High School to do a little track workout. However, the air was not much better along the bench and at Skyline there was a good 5 inches of frozen snow encompassing the football field. As a result, it was a laborious one-mile track workout that would have been much easier with snowshoes. After I got back home, I did 200 sit-ups. |
