Smog? Am I in LA still?

No help from mother nature this week as it seems that nearly all of Northern California is on fire. According to NPR there are hundreds of fires spread across Napa and Sonoma Valleys due to lightning storms this weekend. As you can see by this cool NASA satellite photo there are also two huge fires in the Sierras. Luckly prevailing winds go west-to-east, but its still pretty smelly and "cloudy" out.


This made getting a long run in a bit precarious. I put it off until this evening, and even relocated down near the coast where the winds are usually pretty high. NPR told me not to spend much time outside today, but an Iron-athlete has to get his long run in right? Luckily throughout my 2:15 run I didn't experience any difficulty breathing, or bronchial things. We'll see if how I fare tomorrow morning...
