Tonight at training we did a little fartlek training.  Fartlek, while fun to say (and allows for several unbelievably bad jokes and puns) is a type of training where you vary the pace significantly during your workout.  So for us it was, we’d sprint or run hard for half a lap and then take it easy on the second half of the lap.  We did this around 10 to 15 laps.  I lost count so it could have been less.  I’ve been taking it easy because my knee has been feeling a bit stiff.  And we did all this in nasty weather.  It was super windy and raining so bad it hurt.  When we were getting ready to finish up, we saw this huge blueish green light that we all assumed that it was lightning.  It wasn’t.  After the flash, we looked around and the entire area around us was dark.   It was a transformer that blew.  And it didn’t just blow once it flashed 3 times.  We were at the Seattle Pacific University track.  So that meant that all those colleges kids that were diligently writing term papers, probably lost it all.  At that point I was happy I wasn’t them…

Tonight I’m taking a break from NaNoWriMo.  In four days I’ve written 7871 words so far.

And as for Where in the World is Winnie, I’m going to have to say she headed to Mexico City first and then from there she headed to Antofagasta, Chile and after that she took off to somewhere in Brazil… But I don’t know where yet…
