Michele Halvorson

 

Michele Halvorson is a running friend from Ashland who always can grind out a run - her drive is amazing!  She is also the most selfless person - she always thinks of the rest of us before herself.  She puts together running gift bags for us - even if she isn't running the race!  She thinks of everything to keep us well supported and moving.  She even surprises us with fresh farm eggs!  She is hard working, consistent, and will accomplish any goal she sets her mind to. 

Michele's running profile: I am not a runner.  I have been saying this since I started running 6-7 years ago.  I love running with my girls - mainly for keep me mentally grounded.  I dread the one hour or so before a run.  I should be stretching - especially now as I get older - but I skip it most of the time and eventually pay for it.  It is great meeting up with the girls to run.  Seeing and wondering who is coming is fun.  The first 1-2 miles I am feeling "you should have stretched more!"  By mile 3, I start getting locked into my groove and then start drifting into "me zone".  By the time I realize my run is starting to get over, I try to figure out how much farther I really have to go.  Once I finish my run - I feel so complete!  Yay, you did it!  A little victory inside.  It is nice at the end of our runs that we all wait and watch each other.  We meet at the end to give high fives or elbow bumps and congratulate each other on our runs.  Nice run ladies, see you at our next date!

Michelle's 2024 goal:  She is on a bit of a hiatus right now with a foot injury.  We miss her and hope to have her back soon.
