First off...I just want to say that I'm sorry for all of you that I upset when you visit this blog. I really, truly try my best to keep it as light as possible. I honestly do. I also know that no matter what I can say, it is a very heart-wrenching subject for a lot of people. BUT...I consider you all my friends. And being my friends, the last thing I want is for you to have pity for me. I want you to say the things you would say to your other friends, nice or not. That's a huge reason why I love blogging and love you all. My best friends in the real world remember the baby, but don't dote on it, and that's really what I want you all to do, too. I hope you can all gain some of what I have learned from this experience. That is completely important to me. But I don't want anyone baby-stepping around me because of it. I don't expect to be coddled. And I really would rather you all like me because of the person that I am and not what I have been through.
That being said....I SUCK....I haven't run since Monday. I am going to be completely unready for the half in January and I am just hoping that my determination and the fact that I am running with 3 of the best people EVER can get me through it. I just don't see the training getting that much better anytime soon, but I do still plan on getting it done. So, I guess all I'm saying is...wish me some luck ;)

This you your blog and you can talk about whatever in the hell you want to talk about.
I love hearing about Kreux, and I really am amazed by you as a person and the way you deal with difficult situations. That's the main reason I keep coming back. Please don't stop talking about him or your feelings.
That said...get your ass out the door and run you fool!
I agree, this is totally YOUR space and we are all just visitors. Please dont tailor your posts to make anyone else happy....your experiences have value to us ALL. I think you are amazing!
EEk. I hope I didn't inspire this. I told you people think you are amazing. Say whatever you damn well please. It's why I still use NON RUNNER even though I constantly get grief over it and people think it is being too hard on me. Well, guess what, it means something to me, so I'm keeping it for awhile.
Bloggers are the best and what I've found is the worthwhile ones will stick around and read whatever you want to write. Thanks for sharing everything that you do.
I absolutely agree with the rest of the ladies. This is YOUR little space in Blogland. You can talk about whatever you like ;-)
Pfffttt and don't even sweat the HM. We're in it together chica! Even if it means we have to (I'm ripping this from Wendy) barrel roll to the end LOL. If it makes you feel better. My training has not (and most likely will not) be up to par . . .but I don't care as long as I've all your company!
Hi, My name is Ted. (trying not to sound like I am in an AA meeting.) We sometimes forget that we are human but we are all human. We have feeling. You are entitled to whatever you are feeling. Blog is a terrific tool. Terrific outlet. Terrific resources. I am telling you, its f--king therapeutic! (sorry for the swearing!)I have found that bloggers/runners are the best people I ever hang around with. I lost my brother a few years ago to melanoma. He was a runner. I am mad as hell to this day that he didn't see the doctor earlier (hence, it could have been easily averted). He was 43 yo. Whenever I get mad, I get my slimy ass out of the door and run to get it out. Please continue blogging!!! I mean it! [hugging ya]
Ahh... Lori. I agree whole-heartedly with the others. This is your journal, your blog and a place where you can put IT all out. It's very therapeutic to talk about anything you can, here. I love hearing about Kreux, too and you probably don't realize that every time I read a post from you, I'm touched and feel honored to know you. You're such a doll, and very inspirational.
I can't wait to meet you next month!!!!
I am going to try to re-write this. :>P
Lori this is your blog and we come here because you are so amazing with what you say and how you handle life. I heart you girl.
I am going to email you the other part. ;>)
This is your party. Cry if you want too :-) We come here because we want too. Besides, you got it going on, and I want to leech a little bit of that off of ya ;-)
I like your plan to donate toys (In memory of Kruex). We have an ongoing tradition of hanging a new ornament (per person) each Christmas Eve - I plan to continue including my husband in the tradition. We were also given the idea to hang his stocking and allow the family members to write little notes to Tom during the season. I haven't figured out what we will do when the season is over (perhaps burn them in the fireplace so the messages can rise with the smoke to heaven OR save them to look back on as the years pass).
I agree with the above. We all come here because we want to!! We all consider you to be a friend, and friends are there for each other through the good and the bad. Now get your arse out there and run!!!
We all love hearing about your experiences - good and difficult.
I am totally sucking with running right now too. We can suck together.
You can talk about anything you want to and offend anyone you want to. This is a free cyber space area. If someone is offended, then good they are probably a dork anyways and needed to be kicked to the curb.
You were not suppose to tell anyone that I am Psychofrenic, running with me, my self, and I. The three best friends anyone could want. Looking forward to seeing you in Jan. You are not the only one not ready for it.
you can write whatever you want and feel however you want and need to feel....:)))
Everyone else already said what I was going to: your blog, yada, yada, yada.
No appology or disclaimer needed: you post about what you want or need to discuss, and we will be here to give you a virtual hug or offer support. Your friends stand by you, good and bad, and you should lean on us when you want or need to.
Oh, and go run, damnit! :-)
