Local 10k's 2009 & 2010 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. |

Ran 6 miles today after work. Started out pretty good but got tired towards the end. Either from yesterdays run and then working til 7pm. I've never had to work that late or a Sunday! Or from not being able to sleep to well last night. For some reason I woke up at 2:45am wide awake. Stayed up about for 30-45 minutes.Was sleeping pretty well until husband came back from his morning run and started flipping the light on at 5:30. Must have thought it was time for me to wake up.
Tomorrows another day! Plan on doing another 6. |

| | Ran further than expected today. AM run 6 miles. PM run was going to do 4 miles but since I wasn't having the best run I decided to run 1 extra mile. Been getting frustrated the last few days. Don't know if it's from not stretching enough or no cross training or running to many miles each week. Think I'll take the day off of running tomorrow - probably will ride the bike. |

| | Ran 6 miles at a pretty easy pace. Was thinking about taking the day off but once I got to the gym didn't feel like riding the bike or doing anything else. |

Managed to do a 17+ run today. I'm happy with being able to just do it. Last 11/2 laps around the river were tough. I get amazed at how others can do a full marathon in less time than it took me today. :) I'll chalk today up as another training run. I'm still learning. Just keep thinking - base miles, base miles...... I'll just keep going. |

AM- pretty good run overall. 6 miles. Trying to stay within good HR. Don't want to worry about speed right now. Focus on base miles - endurance.
PM- decided to do the elliptical (45min) and then stretching.

| | 8 miles. Took it slower pace today. I'm learning that my HR runs high due to medication. Trying to figure out better training methods to see if it helps. |

| | 6 steady miles. Have cut back miles this week alittle more than I'd like. I did do weights after to try and get a little better of a workout. |

Did some weights today before running. Feels good to work on building strenght. Ran just 3 miles today because I plan on a longer run tomorrow.
Went to the doctor today. Have been trying to see why my heart rate is so elevated when my level of excertion stays relatively low. |
