[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I walked my kid to school, about 1.5 miles roundtrip. The air smelled horrible but I don't feel any worse for the wear from the walk. I am supposed to do an outdoor bootcamp at 6:30... curious if the trainer cancels. [/quote]

Please don't do the bootcamp.  The AQI is currently at 200, which is at the edge between red and purple, and the forecast is for it to continue in red through tomorrow.  It's not a good idea for anyone to be doing strenuous outdoor activity today.
