I was able to leave work a touch early today, which I was exceedingly grateful for, as I had a mega event to attend and needed to get my run in beforehand.
I was able to get home and back out the door relatively quickly, and since it wasn't (officially) raining, I opted for the park. I felt instantly transported to the Bay Area, as the fog was thick and the temperatures were incredibly accurate for a morning jog through San Francisco or the Santa Cruz mountains.
I had speed work to do today. A five minute warmup followed by 15 sets of 40/30. My data leaves a lot to be desired as far as consistency goes... I really wasn't monitoring very well today. Also, I believe this is the first time I've ever run intervals outdoors, a much different experience. My "fast" was too fast, and when I felt too tired, my "slow" became grapevine drills or running backward, which slowed up my pace quite a bit. I should focus more on maintaining consistent pace for each interval. I also should probably figure out my TT6(?).
Anyway, the event was utterly fantastic. Some of my biggest political idols were there, as was one of my favorite musical artists. Fantastic.
