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.

Yahoo!  I ran this morning! Not my fastest time, but it was nice being out there!!!  I've ran so little I haven't bother to post anything.  In the last week or so I ran 7 last weekend and just a couple of miles besides that.  I've pretty much spent the last month or so just at the gym doing other things.  I feel like it's been paying off.  My back is feeling awhole lot better and I feel like I'm getting my strength back. It's still going to be alittle while, but I'm so happy with how things have been going. I'm sometimes amazed that alot of the things I was eating the last few years (at least) were actually making me sick and weak.  There are times when reality really hits that I actually can't eat dairy, soy and wheat.  It's a slow learning process at times on what to cook.  A co-worker told me a couple of times on Friday that she was alittle worried because I was to thin.  Had a time to explaining to her that I was actually feeling better then I had in quite awhile.  I acutally eat quite a bit but still just trying to maintain right now.  And, then there's the family dinners on Sunday night.  The last few weeks Marlin and just take our own dinner over to eat with everyone. It's all quite the adjustment. Marlin's sure been great about it all tho! 

Marlin's out of town for the next few days.  It's going to be pretty boring at home. Will just have to get things done around the house after work.   

I'm feeling bad for my son right now. He recked on his bike racing last weekend and got a pretty bad concussion.  He took last week off of work and it's still going to be a week or two until he's better.  This week at work he'll stay in the office.  He's bummed about that because he's training for a different position at work and he's ready to get all the training done. 

On a good note it's my daughters birthday this Tue.!!!

So excited to hear you're back at it Mauri. It's so frustrating when you can't go do what you love. Yea!
