Short-Term Running Goals:

It's been a challenging year so far since Boston 2011. When I got home from Boston my world changed when I found out I had some pretty severe food allergies. Since being tested I have been focused on building my health back up which has been a long slow process. What a difference it's made and I feel extremely blessed. For years I knew something was wrong and it's amazing to finally know that food can actually be a persons medicine to live a healthy life.

Long-Term Running Goals:

"You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement."
- Steve Prefontaine

I'm hoping to start building more miles when I can and be injury free. Maybe one of these days I'll be fast. Just for now I'm just very happy to be running.

Personal:

Happily married to Marlin Ordway. We've got 4 grown children between the two of us. It's been fun watching them go through life - making mistakes and picking themselves back up. I love seeming them happy and succeeding.

Intervals today. I glad I don't dread Tue's as much as I used to. The last week or so I've had a hard time getting my HR up into where it should be.

Ran 7x1200 w/400 recovery. 1 mile warmup. 7:53 (152) - 7:53 (155) - 7:41 (165) - 7:35 (173) - 7:30 (173) - 7:30 (175) - 7:24 (175). Finished with 2 mile cooldown between Zone 1 & 2.

Average HR for the whole run was 158. I need to do better with getting my HR up earlier! Hate to say it but I'm enjoying the interval work now. When I started it was no fun at all. I'm reading a book out of the library that was written in '79. Pretty interesting to read what training was like back then. Who would know running would be where it is now.

My (younger) sister is getting to run her first marathon in SL in a couple of weeks. Granted she's a single mom and has two girls. But, she has not done the needed training! My other (older) sister just ran her first half marathon. She started running alittle over a year ago. She did great. Time was 2:09 hrs. I'm very proud of her!

Great workout honey, I have been able to run beside you the last few days and I have to say how impressive your runs have been, you have come a long way from not even a year ago at the S.D. R&R marathon. Keep up the great work.

Nice job guys.

Thanks honey. Maybe those intervals are paying off. Hi Burt - how are you doing? How's your training going? Any races coming up?

Doing good. No races on the immediate horizon, but I'm plugging along. Hopefully I'll get into the St. George Marathon.
