Utah pollution and running

To my fellow Utahans, take many a deep breaths tonight as our air has finally cleared!

The pollution this past month is killing me! How do y'all stay motivated to run in this crummy air?? Even with access to a treadmill, I have been venturing out for my long runs (can't stay motivated on a treadmill for six miles or more, just can't do it), and have been paying for it! Worst sore throat that won't go away!

While Utah regularly has the worst air quality in the nation, I don't want to exclude those of you in other cities with terrible air pollution. How do we train in the winter months? Are we forced indoors? Or maybe share ways to stay motivated while running on treadmills.
