OK, you’re obviously not going to run directly into the area of northeast Oklahoma City that’s on fire. But you might be running in a place where the wind has carried the smoke, even if it’s miles and miles away. Here’s a note from the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management:

If you live close to or in the surrounding area, it’s recommended that you refrain from exercising outdoors, especially if you smell smoke or notice eye or throat irritation.

So if you’re in northeast Oklahoma City – or event south Edmond or rural Oklahoma County – it might be wise to switch your runs to the treadmill for the next couple days.
