Really I have. Normally, I'll come up with something to post during my long run, but I was too busy skipping through my iPod shuffle trying to find some podcasts that I downloaded. As an unintended result, I'm on a quest to update my playlist.
I have nothing.
I could go on and on about how it's hot and muggy - even at 6am - but you know what? IT'S JULY! IT'S GOING TO BE HOT NO MATTER WHEN YOU RUN!
I'm blocked.
No race reports. No product reviews. No pithy observations about anything.
You would think that after 4 weeks of marathon training, the posts would be flowing free. I'd be the Hemingway of the Information Highway.
But I'm not.
Tomorrow, I'm going to shake things up a bit on my run. I'm going to try this whole fartlek thing. Maybe you guys can name the title of my post. Here are your options:
- "Excuse me, I just Fartleked"
- "Who Fartleked? I did!"
- "Fartleking in Public Feels Great."
- Other
There ya go. There's the cruz of this intriguing post. YOU get to choose the title! How's THAT for interactive?! The winner will get a glowing write-up about their blog PLUS a link to it! Wow.

Oh, the fartleking jokes never end. Keep persevering, I'm sure you will get some good blog fodder soon enough.
Occasionally, all our creative wells go dry, but a nice juicy fartlek should wet whistle.
Good luck.
You should really try throwing yourself in front of a car while on a run or tripping a walker. Better yet how about farting in someone's general direction WHILE doing fartleks. Then you'd have something to yak about :P
Sorry for the dry spell.
It will return soon, just give it a week....and something will just find its way into your life.
Enjoy the Fartlek. As my 3 year old says when we ask "who fartleked?"...."cuse me"
I feel your pain. I'm racking my brains about what else I can blog about this week and I'm coming up with nothing.
Good luck, comrade.
I hope your Farteks don't stink.
You could post about the top 10 reasons why "Fartleking is better than Sharting". Funny and informative.
When I can't think of what to write I take pot shots at other running bloggers. I think you'll find that Nitmos and Viper both make excellent targets.
As for a title, I think it should be "Fartleking Your Heart Out," but I don't know why I like it so much.
What kind of stuff do you listen to on your runs normally? Maybe you can throw out some suggestions and ask for some from us based on your tastes. Then you have an entry and we can help you update your playlist!
I have no idea what you're speaking of. Everyday I come up with brilliant and witty things to post. And I never have to resort to base humor with Fartlek puns. :)
That smiley face is supposed to ensure you of my sarcasm. It's so hard to convey without a smiley face, don't you agree?
Fartlek You?
Anytime I need inspiration for blogging, I head over to Nitmos, he ALWAYS has something there to get the creative Fartlek juices flowing so to speak! LMAO!!
