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.

Went on an 11 mile hike up at Island Park with my sister and her husband.  It was pretty nice getting out and doing something other than a run.

Ran in Island Park. Was hoping to go further while running with my sister.  The heat and being in the moutains got to her since she's from Calif.  Nice sister time.   Later in the day I went for a couple of bike rides on the trails up there.

Ran in Boise along the Greenbelt while my daughter did a Pure Barre class. I LOVE running over there. There was a race going on and it had to be towards the end. So I stopped at their aid station for water and talked to the volunteers. We talked about running in Boise and  about there being so many races.  After working out we went to the Farmers Market and shopping. That night we got to watch the Twilight Criterium Bike Race. Good day!

Normal run. As I was getting ready for work my mom called saying her back surgery had been moved up for earlier in the day.  It was a hectic morning but I still went into work and left early.  For being 85 yrs old, The surgery went great.  She got to go home and now it's just time to rest for the next few days.

Got up early today to run.  Wanted to make sure I had time to visit mom.  For just having back surgery she's doing amazing!  I'm going to start calling her the bionic women.
