Wow!  Sittin' in my hotel room looking out the window I can't even see across the street through the famous Beijing smog. We have been lucky so far but this morning is awful.  I really shouldn't run in that crud but I really can't conceive heading to the dungeon gym.

Maybe I should just sit in my room and watch the Masters.

I decided to save my lungs and my legs and just did a hard 60 minutes on the elliptical while watching the Masters.  It's hard to push it on that thing but I kept my rpm between 100 and 110  and my HR around 150 the whole time.  I'm giving my self and 8.5 equivilent for that effort.  cause I can.

The smog that never appeared during the Olympics...

They banned it during the Olympics. Kind of like how Utah made it easy to drink for three weeks and cleared all the bums out of Pioneer Park.

In Utah they just sent the Bums to Vegas for a few weeks. I'm pretty sure they shipped them all to Mongolia here.

Geez! When we try to get rid of illegals in AZ everybody calls us racist!

It seems that the word "racist" is only an American term.
