Well, got side-swiped by a red air day alert which I wasn't expecting on a weekend - don't have time to spare today to go to Bear Lake and so the 60 mile week plan bites the dust.

gotta make time, Big Sur is coming up!

I have decided that training for a spring marathon in Logan is really not practical, not until something gets done about the air quality, which doesn't seem to be on the horizon. The cold temps just eat your motivation too.

Scott - You're right - I don't mind the cold so much as the bad air. It really defeats the purpose to run when PM2.5 is above 45 like it is right now. Plus it really wears on you running the same streets day after day. I feel like I live on 3700N!

Ay ay ay que pena lo de la calidad del aire! Espero que maƱana sea mejor.

Que tenga un buen dia amigo!
