Those gauchos know what they're doing wearing those bandanas on the dusty trail. Since I've been running with a headlamp more frequently, I've noticed all the particles (dust and pollen) that I've been running through, breathing in and snotting out. Much of California (and other places like AZ) where I run is desert, after all. The air is dry and dusty. Add to that these parks (in the city and populated areas) tend to spray insecticides near the pond areas, etc. So I donned one of the many orange scarfs I snagged from the John Wayne Cancer Foundation over the years (TEAM JOHN WAYNE and TEAM DUKE), dampened it in some clean water, and wrapped it around my neck. Once I got comfortable and the 
air seemed heavy, I kept it over my nose and mouth and really was able to breathe deeply and calmly. My last split felt strong, and I'm confident the bandana helped. Since I'm a social runner, I did pull it down to say hi to people I passed, especially if they had dogs. Don't want nobody thinking I'm an outlaw, especially since my boy Murphy seems to bark at people with masks! So the bandana is now part of my trail mix!
