My planned 4 miles, on treadmill instead of outside. Saw V. at the gym so the first half of my miles went by fast. 4 miles seems to be my max right now, can't imagine going longer without taking a walk break.
Hoping to do 5 miles next Saturday outside, maybe the air will be better. This article was posted yesterday about Utah's air.
Smog leaves Utah coughing, sneezing and wheezing

The smog spell has made Utah's air the dirtiest in the country for almost a week, and nearly 8 of 10 Utah residents are living under health advisories. Residents are being urged to drive less and prohibited from burning wood, and sometimes even the most fit have been urged not to exercise outside. A thick layer of smog stubbornly lingering over parts of Utah has fouled the state's air so badly this week that health officials warned people not to exercise outside and some schools kept children inside for recess and sports.
The haze that has obscured Utah's picture-perfect mountain views for the last several days is blamed on a weather phenomenon called an inversion that pins pollution to the valley floors and doesn't relent until a major storm blows through.
