I want it back

September 14th, 2008 , 12:30 pm by Michelle Halsne

I want to be a runner again.  I need to be a runner again. I want it back.  One mile at a time.  Today was the longest I have ran since dropping out of my 50 mile race and it pushed me to my limits.  It is humbling to know I have to crawl myself back into shape.  I ran a lot harder than I should have.  This is a simple four mile loop that I am very familiar with and I wanted to mark my current aerobic condition.  Well the truth is I am out of shape, compared to where I want to be.  However I was able to run the entire distance and at a decent pace.

 

My goal for this week is to run 3 times and log 10 miles.  Not a lofty goal big picure, but a reasonable goal for now.

    Nice to see you using the HR monitor, you will get a lot of good training info from it. Be careful with that knee, running AHR 167 is pretty high, make sure you run in good form and control, so not to hurt that knee. Am I sure you are happy to be out there, thats great.
