Beijing Olympics 3

Naturally I was concerned about the air quality in China. For months I have heard so much about the stifling humidity and choking smog, and  the risk of black lung I faced by running during my Olympic trip.
 
But I run with teammate Chuck in Shanghai and smog is not an issue.  (avoiding getting hit by lightning was more of an issue).
 
Then in Beijing the sky is blue and I can see mountains clearly in the distance.  Christian and I do 12k around the Summer Palace Grounds and the air is fine and I hardly break a sweat in the cool comfortable weather.
