Apparently "Fartlek" is Swedish for "Speed Play". I remember running fartleks during cross country practice but I don't know that I ever knew what it really meant. Pretty much you sprint for a certain amount of time and then jog, sprint, jog....you get the point. Today we did six 30 second sprints with a decreasing amount of time to job in between each sprint.
I would say the run went fairly well, except for the part where Amy tried to kill herself! OK, not really but I have decided that she has to bring her inhaler whenever we do speed work. I also didn't realize how competitive she was. She says "you're a better sprinter than me" then proceeds to refuse to let me beat her during the sprint portions which results in me accusing her of trying to die on me.
I was going to write more tonight but I have procrastinated and now I'm distracted by the Olympics - currently they are showing the Men's Diving, amazing. So I have completely forgotten the other things I was going to write on my blog tonight. I will note that Chris has decided that the female announcer is a "hater" and that she keeps pointing out all little things that the Chinese keep doing wrong. Ohh...they are now about to start the track portion so I am going to end this post now. I'll do better tomorrow, haha.

Well for somone distracted by men in swimsuits, you hit the high spots. Great run and yes you are definately the better sprinter. I might die trying to keep up with you. Please make sure John buries me in my shorts and tennis shoes. My favorite flowers are lillies. Star gazing preferably!
