I spent the better part of the work day yesterday trying to turn the statement, "I'd like to go to Conference X because I've been working on some cool stuff this year, and I wouldn't mind presenting it 5 minutes away from the beach" into a four section grant proposal about why the university should fork over some $$$ to help us pay for it. Fortunately the BS machine wasn't totally out of gas, and I managed to crank out some answers that I can revise today.
It was absolutely beautiful out yesterday afternoon but kind of chilly this morning. Not for running- I was fine in a long sleeved shirt, shorts, and mittens, but I was pretty cold riding my bike in to work in the morning. I definitely could have used some heavier mittens and something to go over my ears. One of downsides of not getting on the computer before work is that I didn't know it was only 39.
Running has been really good. Yesterday I did an easy 8, and the day before I did 7.5 with 2x(3x800) and all the interval paces (even the first, which is always slow) were sub-8 min/mile. I'll be curious to see how I do at the 15k this weekend because I feel like I'm in pretty good shape. However, I know nothing about the course so I'm not going to put any time goals out there.
And with that, I'm out the door!
