Yay!! Its FRIDAY :O)
Hoping that all is well with all of you this fabulous day!! Upon us is the weekend, which means rest and relaxation.
I was able to meet with my trainer last night, after a wonderful run with Team R.E.D. ! We were able to pull in 6 miles and it felt amazing, after I did it, of course. For there were some hills I really didnt like -- yet -- held strong through them and followed everyone!
The meeting with Sherry, my trainer, was amazing !! My measurements were DOWN again :O) YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My weight is also down, yet, thats not so much of a concern any longer. The inches coming off is what really excites me.
We spoke of a new plan for my strength training and also some routines to throw in with the running. This will allow for me to become stronger, while learning how to run fast. As well as, making darn sure that my body does not fail me during all this exercise :O) Its important for me to take care of my body as though its a temple!!!
I am very excited for the next few months, while training for a half an also working my muscles!!! LIFE IS GREAT!!!! AND its getting BETTER!!!!!!
Push on dear friends, push on!!!
* Have a great, relaxing and fun weekend!! Hugs to you

Today was a good day !!! I am feeling a bit gloomy, so I didnt know if I could pull off the hills today, yet, I surprised myself!!
4 miles and 9 hill repeats, pushing up them at 7:50 to 8:30 pace each :O) I think that pretty darn good considering !!! This brings me to 22.75 mi for the wk thus far an tonight is Team R.E.D.!!! That will be another 6 mi to add.
I am considering doing a 5K this weekend, which has been undecided as of yet. I will for surely be doing a long run -- thinking around 10. This will begin the long runs and keep the other at a base of 6 mi. My longest run this fall will be 15 miles an then I will complete a half marathon and pull it into a full marathon training schedule.
Tonight I also meet with my personal trainer !!! Which I am very pumped about, being the state that my body is in and holding !!! I am hoping to see much improvement in the inches :O)
Wish me luck !!
Onward, my friends, onward!!!
Believe in yourself, as if you were believing in someone else!!! YOUR WORTH IT!!!
Hugs to you all

Hello Dear Followers!!!
I am sooo excited for this training to progress!!!
Yesterday, was my first track work out and it ROCKED my world!!!! YAY!!!!
I did 9 sets of 400 Meters with 200 Meters recovery ( thats a total of 1.25 miles of 400 meters ) and I pulled in the sprints with some AMAZING times ( 1:50's ) !!!!!
THAN - to my surprise - I was chatting to another Team R.E.D. member, Roger, while he was doing a recovery and I was just sitting there. So, I said, I will go with you this one -- he was doing 800 meters ( 1/2 mi ). I was going strong with him, he has very long legs, and then came to the 400 and was going to dash off, he said: C'mon Lori!! You can pull it through. I held on. THE TIME was FASTER than my fastest mile : 3:29 = 6:58 MILE :O)
Dang -- I am proud today !!! PROUD I tell you...
All the hard work, determination, motivation, and sweat are paying off !!!
Thursday I will see my Personal Trainer for measurements. Lets see where I am 27 months later!!!
Push on my Friends, Push ON!!

Hello Friends!!
I am happy to note that yesterday, I was able to pull of a short 3.5 mile run, including -- my fastest mile at this time ( 7:08 ) -- during the rain pour that we had for a bit in Byron!!!
I was going to head back when the downpour hit, but than I was determined to send off my pace to my friend so that the speed work could be determined for my training schedule!! Here I am soooo happy that I did so and that I stuck with it!!
I read the watch after I did the mile on the track and I almost fell OVER!! I am very proud of myself for accomplishing this !!
It was a very good running week -- I completed over 29 miles.
Next week, we are BACK on !!
Happy Running my friends, push on -- push on!!
* I also can note that I am down to a size 6 in my pants!! Coming from a size 16 thats AWESOME!! WHOO WHOOP!! Between my HP and my determination and prayers, this is all so possible!!

Hello hello hello --
Well its thursday and I have 24.75 mi to note :O)
It was a great day today !! I did a 3.25 miler of hills and hit em pretty decently. Than I did 6.25 tonight and I was able to run with a new friend, Angie!! It was actually pretty awesome!! It was a long run for her and it FELT amazing to me -- I actually could have kept running !! I think I really felt it after sitting at the Bears Den with the gang ( TEAM R.E.D. ) and a little bit as I blog...yet, it was a GREAT day.
Tomorrow -- I need to run a mile at my fastest pace !! I need to run out to a place where its flat and not alot of traffic, this will help determine my track work ( Speed work ) for my training. I will be running a half in Oct and then a full in Feb I will need to be PREPARED!!!
Shooting for 28 miles this week -- so far so good !!!!
Push on Dearest friends, Push on!!!
