I'm probably a little too old to say I have a favorite band but if I were to say which group I have listened to more running miles than any other it would have to be The Killers, so when we got the word that staff was invited to the Killers concert last night I was pretty excited. I pretty much know the words to every one of their songs. While we were standing in the crowd waiting for the concert I got a text from our contact saying that the internet connection back stage wasn't working and the Killers wouldn't play until it was fixed. I figured it must be the back stage production guys that were broken so me and 2 co-workers went running back stage and found out that it was actually the band that was having problems. We went to the Green Room where the Killers and all their groupies were and discovered that someone had un-plugged the switch to plug in a Refrigerator, cause of course cold drinks in the green room of a rock concert are way more important than internet. Anyway it was way cool, highlight of the trip, Brandon Flowers actually said Hi to me :). We were invited to sit backstage after than but I really wanted to go watch the concert. Concert started right on time and it was probably one of the best concerts I've ever been to. Back to running. Great run today, temperatures in the 70's this morning and I felt really good, plan was to run 10 slow but I ended up sprinting every intersection whether there were cars or not just because. I would guess that was about 12 -15 short sprints total. Felt good after 10 and decided to run 2 more, ran the last 1/2 down the strip really fast. My Garmin must have just bit the dust completely so I didn't get splits again but I ran the last 1/4 faster than I've ever ran a 1/4 before. I'm guessing pretty close to 4:30 pace but I have no proof. 17 hour work day today, but it's finally tear down day and I get to go home tomorrow, So glad. I may or may not get around to running tomorrow. 12 miles in ~1:27ish 7:15 pace.
