Both the conditions and format of today's workout were altered slightly: much cooler weather, and rather than a speed workout track-stylee, I ran a fartlek series on the streets. Once again, deviating from the plan proved to be a great way to train, as I had a great run in the cool air without losing the emphasis on speed.

Breathe in, breathe out… YOU AND I ARE ALIVE!
