Hello !
Today I ran 5 miles.
* I was only going to write that, but than I realized there was a bit more to it than only the 5 miles. There was the hills that I climbed as well as pushing the last two miles ( 3 to 4 to see if I could hold a good pace that far after running 3 and then the last one hit the last half mile hard, with a hill in there and pulling it in at 6:50 pace ). Course in training I am learning that really I should have spread that energy out into each mile, but today, I had some fuel that just seemed to kick in around that time. Thanks anger for that.
Push on dearest friends, push on !

What an absolutely amazing morning for a run :O)
A few us of met in Rochester and ran the Douglas Trail. We took off and then took a small break in Douglas ( water/Gatorade ) and back on the trail. To come in at the end for a total 10 miles :O)
The trail was beautiful to run on and the weather was excellent to run in. It was also very nice to have been joined by Sam and Adam, both Team R.E.D. members. This helped the run go by faster than being there on my own.
Plus, to my surprise, it was both of their first time running this distance :O) They did great for a long run !! We took it slower and easy, as I hit hard last night on the 5K and its been a long week for me.
I will have now completed a total 35.5 miles this week. My body is a doing amazing well, for that many miles, where I would think it would be in shock. And yet, its not. What else I find a bit interesting is that the 5K went by MUCH faster than I am used!! Something is working running all these miles and the harder workouts!!
The hard work pays off :O) It really does, people!!!
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, my dearest friends!!
Big Hugs sent out to you all!!

It was a GREAT day to run a 5K :O)
I was able to join the Chosen One Run in Zumbrota this afternoon. It was very nice company and it was beautiful weather for a run. I was joined by my personal trainer, Sherry Sonneberg, and a friend of ours, Jenny O'Connor.
I am very proud to say that I was able to PR tonight. It was not a huge change in my last PR, yet, it is a PR.
25:15 ( running at an avg. of 8:10 min/mile )
Tonight my body sleeps well, knowing that what I have been training and all the hard work I am applying is paying off!!
* I have had a horrible cold and I am hoping that possibly that added to the time *
IF I CAN YOU CAN!!!
I have a Girl Friend, Sharyce, who ran her first 5K this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its absolutely amazing to see how she progressed and achieved. Congratulations!!!
Good night Dearest Friends -- Good night !

Finally Friday :O)
I have to say that I am pretty much stoked that it is the weekend!!!!! So excited, I have decided to put in a 5K on Saturday ( Adoption run in Zumbrota ) and a 10 miler on Sunday :O) Today is a rest day for me and my temple ( body ).
Yesterday, I was unable to blog as it was a VERY busy day !!!!! Yet, amongst the chaos and commotion, I was able to grab Ang and take her with me to Team R.E.D. and run a nice 5 miler!! Than we ended up at the Bears Den to eat a lil bit.
Life is good today. To be able to look at where I am, feel the pain and to know that it is all paying off!!! In the end -- I feel a completely solid soul when I lay my head to sleep at night!!!!
Have a great Friday my dearest readers!!!
Push on -- there is NO limit you can NOT reach!! ( JUST DO IT )

Well, my dearest friends, I am plum wore out!! I think I have a bit of congestion going on -- which has wore me out and not given my lungs the right capacity for the air I needed to hit my 400 M's hard tonight.
I was able to run with Sherry today, which was amazing!! We put in 7 miles !! That was so nice to run with her again and its also, as always, nice to get in my miles with someone else!! They go by soo much faster that way.
I was unable to do track work yesterday, so I hit the track today!! I completed 16 400 M's with 200 M recoveries!! Not my best work -- yet -- I did hit the 1:50 mark each time :O) I am proud tonight!!
Its really amazing -- once you get on a track and you feel the need to RUN!! Never thought it would be that way, yet, it is now.
Till tomorrow !! Looking at around 9 split up -- hills/group run with the Team !!!! Yay !!
Push on my friends, push on!!

The day I send off my eldest to 2nd grade. We are all out to do different things in our daily lives. My life with my running/exercise is out to help myself along with my children's.
I told a friend today who was throwing all these excuses at me: If you are NOT in good standings you can not be for your children either !! YOU NEED TO TAKE care of you!!!! YOUR #1!! Than you can maintain a great attitude and a great healthy lifestyle with them and for them !!!! OK -- enuff on that one.
I went to a few parties over the weekend and I had nothing but compliments thrown at me !! It was AWESOME !!! How did you do that Lori?? YOU look amazing -- I simply said: I RUN!!! :O) Of course, I had to tell them a lil bit more, cuz thats how I am !! I TALK!! It was awesome to hear!! Working hard pays off in SO many ways!!!
Last week -- on Friday -- since I didnt repost anything, I had a good friend do a GREAT favor for me!!!
I got asked if I wanted a ride to Kasson, I said for what ? He replied: To run back to Byron. You would have a tail wind. It was a suppose to be a 6 mile run -- yet -- I decided to add a few more miles to make it an 8 miler!!! IT ROCKED!!!!! Got in my miles and also a great workout!! Thanks OL!!!
Off to get some more work done and then I think I am going to log in a short run for today as well as a good circuit to work off the stress from work !!!
Push on my friends, PUSH ON!!!
* Hope you all had a GREAT weekend !!!

Today seems to be a glum day -- again -- I did not get my track work in last night and I am hoping to pick it up today. Somewhere, it seems to be a very busy day today for I have open house for my eldest child today. That would be priority, as well as making sure that I get my work all taken care of before I leave for the open house.
Yesterday, I was able to squeeze in a good workout. I have a new set of exercises from my trainer ( Sherry Sonneberg) and added some cross training in. I put in a 20 min regimen on the elliptical, also. I will beef up those minutes on the Friday, when I redo this set of exercise.
I am lacking my moto this week, hoping to get in a track workout today and pick it back up.
I am trying to grasp all positive and good energy for today and to move forward.
