Got it done

November 7th, 2008 at 7:00 pm by Michelle Halsne

Went to the gym and did another night on the treadmill.  It has been raining all week, so I can’t get myself to strap on a  headlamp and run in the dark and rain.  It took awhile for a treadmill to open up, all the dedicated people working out on a Friday night.  I did a few light weights before to kill the time.

Swim & Lift

I can swim!  No matter what my husband says….he said to me “glad you’re alive” when I told him I swam for my workout tonight.  I wanted to run but my body does not like to run 3 days in row.  I lifted upper body again, worked the guns.  Also did some ab and core work.

Sweaty mess

November 3rd, 2008 at 7:00 pm by Michelle Halsne

I sweat more than any other person I know and sometimes it really shows!  I went to the gym to get my first run of November in.  I was supposed to go long yesterday, but after screwing up the time change and missing my morning timeslot I blew off the whole running commitment.  Not one of my shining athletic decisions.

So I go to the gym tonight and jump on the treadmill.  By the time I as finished with my run there was sweat all oer the bottom of the treadmill, along the handle and control panel, and of course I myself was drenched.  Believe it or not most people in the gym were not sweating at all so I felt a bit strange obviously working so hard.

After my run I wipe down the machine with the disenfectant and towel, it so gross when others don’t wipe the system.  I did notice that the woman next me after seeing me work beyond a easy jog, also increased her speed to a little too.

In the mood to go long

October 26th, 2008 at 10:30 am by Michelle Halsne

Nice trip, half on trail half on road.  Happy with the effort and run.  Feel good about hitting my goals so far in October.   Lots of rolling for a great challenge climbed almost 3000 feet, that’s a good workout.  Wish I was a little faster, something to work on.    I wore my Saucony heavier street shoes, by 9 miles I was getting tired of them on my feet, won’t take them out for longer than 90 minutes in the future or on trails,

smooth one

October 25th, 2008 at 12:00 pm by Michelle Halsne

I will do my long run tomorrow, but wanted to set out and get a few miles in.  This is roughly the same course I ran 2 days ago that felt like crap.. What a difference today.  I will chalk it up having the opportunity to do an afternoon run, my favorite time of day to get out.

Short, slow tough run

October 23rd, 2008 at 10:30 am by Michelle Halsne

Should not be this much effort to run 5 miles.  But sometimes it just is harder than usual.  Also ran around mad at the last X-country meet of the season.  Tired today, felt like I had already put too miles in this week and I haven’t even done my long run.  Have to remember I am building a base for Western States.

10k workout

Tempo style run.  Ran faster when the mood struck and backed off when sucking air.  Brisk describes me and the weather.  Sunny describes my mood and the day.
