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. |

Decided to give running another try today. Overall easy pace - 6 miles. Will just keep trying to push it with a day or so inbetween. Back has felt pretty good so far. Just need to make sure and keep cross training!
Went back to the gym afterwork to try a class of Pilates. I really liked it. I can tell my weak area is my hips and core. Time to put alot more focus on that. Hopefully I'll be able to do the class more. This next week is pretty busy since I'm working the weekend and plan to take all of next week off to go to the cabin. I'm hoping to run and bike some. My sister and her family is here and I'm so excited! |

| | Did PX90 with my neice and sister up at the cabin for the first time ever. Then everyone went to float the river up by Mack's Inn. Saw some moose along the way. Also came across a rope swing. I've never dared do it, but actually was brave enough this time. Boy was it fun! |

| | Ran up to Buttermilk campground again today. Pace is still alittle slower than I like, but I'm just happy to run. Higher elevation and some hills along the way. Later everyone went to West Yellowstone for a few hours. |

| | Went to the gym this morning and ran 6 miles. It was alittle hard. Not sure if it was because it was warm or just me not used to running so much. Finished the workout with a few weights. Hopefully I can go back after work and get another workout in. Time to put in some miles! |

Made it to the gym early today. Was able to run 6 miles and then did a little with weights and stretching. Running was easlier today than yesterday. I can tell I have a ways to go. One of these days I'll be able to do a long run. We're running the Grand Teton Relay this weekend so I'm hoping it'll go alright since I haven't done a ton of running.
Yesterday I ended up working late and then met Marlin at the running store to buy a new pair of running shoes! Sure felt good running today with them! I forgot what a difference a new pair of shoes makes. |

| | Marlin and I did the Grand Teton Relay this last weekend. That was probably the funnest thing we've done running! Our theme was Star Wars. At first I was pretty skeptical about the theme. But, it ended up being a ton of fun for the race. What an experience to be part of a 12 person relay team. From supporting each runner as they ran each of legs for the race, laughing as we passed other runners playing our Darth Vader music, to trying to get one hour of sleep on a church lawn at 1am and the sprinklers going off on you, to running at the base of the Tetons at daybreak, to trying to take a nap at 9am in a park with a ton of other runners while there is music playing, and to watching your husband run up Teton Pass in 80+degree's weather. To finish it off with running to the finish with all of your team mates. Can't wait to do it again! |

The second legs of the Grand Teton Relay were shorter than the first. I got to do one and started running around 10pm. It was pretty interesting running so late and not being able to see much. Even with a headlamp it was pretty dark. It was great that there were other support vehicles from time to time and could see alittle more from their headlights. It was kind of neat because I could hear streams every now and then. Loved running so late.
I ended up not running the third leg. Two reasons, my legs were actually alittle sore, I could fill my hip/leg and there was Karen's daughter who wanted to run on the downside of Teton Pass. I've only started to get back to more running the last week or so and I didn't want to set myself back. |

| | I keep forgetting to enter my runs lately. On Saturday I was able to run in Boise with my sister! We had a great time running the path along the river. Then off to the Farmers Market with her and my mom. What a fun visit we had with family on this trip. |
