Good morning.
I'm out on one of my favorite running routes.
I'm about to start fart licking.
I've warmed up with about 10 minutes of running.
It's a beautiful cold morning.
I saw a lovely sunrise as I was warming up.
And now I'm about to start my regular fartlick route.
I just picked up the pace.
I'm going to be running to the next cross street here, which is one of my longer little fart licks.
This is Gretchen Reynolds.
She writes about exercise for the Post,
and recently she wrote about a way to make your workouts more efficient.
It's called the fartlick.
Okay, I'm coming up to the crossroad, and now I'll slow back down.
I can feel my heart rate slowing somewhat.
It's a little rest period.
And now I will start to run again.
I'm going to go to the next cross street here.
Fartlech is a Swedish word.
It means speed play.
