I planned on an interval workout this morning at the Oval.  I thought it would be good to get the speed in early this week, since I just had two days off.   My legs did feel better, but still lacking some spring.  

When I got to the oval, they had all the pads pushed out onto the track because they were removing the ice.  I would have to run in lane three to stay clear of the pads.  So, I turned the interval workout into a fartlek workout.  I warmed up three miles, and then ran 2 sets of 1:2:3:2:1, with 1:1:2:1:1 recovery.  I cut the third set back to 1:2:2:1 with 1:2:1:1 recovery.   I had some faster intervals, and some slower ones, but it seems that my body really likes to settle in the 5:35-5:45 range. 

I cooled down just a mile to reach 10.  I plan on a short recovery run this afternoon.

It's a great sign to be "settling" in the 5:35-5:45 range!
