fartlek session

Saturday is the Komen 5K, and I want so badly to achieve a PR in this race.  I'm running in memory of my grandmother, and I'm even wearing a t-shirt with her picture on it so the photo of me crossing the finish line shows us both together.  I remember when she would come to my soccer games when I was very little, and she loved to watch me run. 

The running powers that be, however, don't seem to want me to succeed in this PR quest.  I had all these weird colds and sinus infections through the middle of April, then the knee pain.  And in an effect that is completely my fault, I've been eating too much ice cream recently.  It makes my knees feel better, and I like ice cream too much to snap out of the psychological effect on my physiological pain.  But today, the fartlek session went great!  I had no problem stepping in and out of the speed intervals, and when I finished, I was barely exhausted and ready for more.  I'm really looking forward to to Saturday!
