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.

Good morning to be out for a run.  I'm feeling bad for Marlin because it's the start of day 2 from shoulder surgery.  He's doing alot of sleeping.  But, still can't feel all of his arm and hand.

I was tired today and knew I wouldn't run more than 6 today.  I was actually really tempted not to go.  But, I knew it was the best part of the day and went ahead and ran.  I was alittle tired yesterday, but even more today.  I worked out on my lunch yesterday so that may or may not have had something to do with it.  I also should be eating something before I go out and haven't been doing that. 

Poor Marlin had to resort to sleeping on the couch last night.  He can't lay down and has to sleep upright.  Not only can he not eat to much he can't sleep very well.  Hope the next day or two gets better.  I'm sure it's the medicine making him sick and just pure pain in his shoulder when he lays down.  We can't get his arm to lay right even with pillows.  At least he's getting feeling back in his hand!

Early morning run after 4 days in Boise attending my aunts funeral.  Bitter sweet weekend. Grateful for being healthy and having family!
