I love, love, love living in Denver. Really, there is no place on earth I would rather be! (To the point that it inspires me to poorly and impulsively rework the lyrics to show tunes to meet my needs). Today was a glorious more-than-50-degrees. Far better than the sub zero of last week.
I am lucky, too, that my boss decided that we should break early for the day. I bounded out of the office at 2:45 or so, threw on my running gear, and headed out to the bike path. I grinned like an idiot the whole time (perhaps not the most politically correct term, but really folks, I was pretty darn happy).
I abandoned the whole idea of intervals, because truth be told I don't run intervals well when I'm not on a treadmill. I am sure that this is a skill I should develop, but today was not that day. Today was not a day to get serious, rather it was a day to play and revel in the glory of an amazing time and place. Still, my pace time was pretty darn awesome, at about 20 seconds faster than I usually run. I also overshot my training plan/scheduled distance by 25%, but I really was having too much fun to quit when I should have.
Fingers crossed...it should be awesome weather this weekend, so I should be able to get the training run outside!
