CODE RED!

"the highest levels of particle pollution that we've ever recorded here over a prolonged period."

Is what I woke up to yesterday morning, but I attempted my run anyways. Stupid me, I began hacking and choking after mile 1. I walked home and that was that! We have the same advisory today. All this due to blazes on the coast.

It was really smokey yesterday, almost fog like and it stunk. I am hoping it all clears up tonight, for The Race for the Cure tomorrow. This is the very first road race I ever competed in, so I thought it only my duty to keep running this race.

I am running with my friend Savannah and this is her first race. She called me yesterday a bit excited and allot nervous. "Can I run with ear phones? What should I wear?"

I finally picked up the treadmill, we ordered, last night. It is a massive beast. Gary and I have the bruises to prove it. Hauling that thing upstairs was a feat in it of itself. WOW. But now if we ever have these bad air quality days again, I am all set.

GoodLuck Yas, at the Danskin! I know you will do great!
