testing on the day when the effects of the fire reached the south side of town. Everyone who lived within 5 miles of town was inflamed from the inside with exhaustion and smoke sickness. Personally, my body was plagued with the effects of smoke, smaug and asthma. Practicing for a good time on the mile test had taken me all year, and there was no point to it anymore.
