Progression

I think Michele is my new resistance against heart disease.

Being Labor Day, Jeff and I, naturally, bummed around most of the day. I did manage to shift gears around 6 to get ready to go work out with Michele. For those of you who don't know Michele, let me take some time to introduce you to her. Michele is married and has a 15-month old little girl, Isabelle, who is absolutely gorgeous. She's a very good playmate for Tyler seeing as Tyler never had any playmates his age (yes, Ava, but she's 8 months older than Ty). Michele is also a runner. She runs good distances each time she goes for a run. Me, on the other hand...one and a half miles and I'm wasted. Needless to say, I've finally found a workout partner to aspire to instead of being someone else's aspiration (no offense, Haley). My workout tonight was great! I "ran" two and a half miles on the elliptical, then hit the weights. I was drenched afterward, but it was completely worth it. My only real qualm was not having anything to really look at for 30 minutes on the elliptical. At Irving, there were several TV's, and other people, that I could pay attention to. At Milligan, it's like being back in my old high school gym: just weights, not much else. I don't mind not having a TV, but it's kind of awkward (to me, anyway) staring at a stack of fold-up chairs :P. It'll just take some getting used to, I'm sure.

I hope everyone's enjoyed their Labor Day!


*NOTE: Michele - sorry I sound like a huge geek. I'm just very inspired by your running prowess :).
