a 'farty' 4

haha.  i easily humor myself.  and with a word like fartlek, i can come up with all sorts of absolutely corny cheesy humor.  i was going to do a fartlek run on monday but instead did a tempo run.  so today, i ran 4 fartlek miles on my hilly route which was kind of fun. it at least kept the run interesting.  i would find a sign, fence, or mark in the sidewalk and run hard to it.  by the end of the run though, my legs were getting tired.  probably from the 200's yesterday. i was supposed to do leg weights tonight but my legs are over and out.  i'm going to do an easy run of some sort tomorrow so maybe i'll do some light weights, not too much, since the long run is on saturday.  my right shin was giving me havoc the whole run though. :(  i so wish i could go back to that ice cold stream and soak them like i did on mother's day (below).  ahhhh, what instant relief that would be.  oh well, i'll settle for a good old ice pack for now. :)
