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.

Decided to go ahead and try to run.  Felt pretty good overall.  Hopefully if I keep doing things at the gym I can start to get a couple of runs in during the week.  I'd still rather play it safe rather then push it.  Still limited on what I can eat.  It's pretty boring only having certain things each day. I could sure go for a plate of spagetti or anything normal!

Today was a great day!  Ran 4 (easy) miles on the TM.  Boy, was that nice.  Saw Marlin and Debra as soon as I got there.  They sure made it look easy.  I've been doing the Arch Trainer for quite a while and wanted to just see how it felt to run.  I think crosstraining between the Arch Trainer and weights are paying off.  I might be able to start running more now if I don't push it.  Back and hip are starting to feel better. It's sure been nice reading everyone's racing reports!
