Calgary was filled with smoke today which drifted over from the BC forest fires. The weather was beautifully hot and I decided to go for a jog at lunch hour without realizing this. I noticed it was a bit harder to breathe but figured that I was just having a tired day.
I ran week 4 day 1 which involved 3 and 5 minute intervals. I'd never attempted to run 5's before outdoors but was nicely surprised. (A treadmill is much easier to run on.) I jogged week 4 with no problems and it wasn't actually as difficult as I had anticipated. Imagine if there had been clean fresh air to breathe!
My route was the normal downtown circuit that I've been following. From City Hall to Eau Claire Market area along the south side of the Bow river, across the bridge and back along the north river side pathway. All and all I think it's about 4km.
Late in the afternoon I read the local news online and discovered that asthmatics have been warned to stay indoors with the windows closed. Oops. Ah well, I seem to have done just fine. Feels great to jog.
