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.

Greenbelt and Freeman Park. Marlin has started running again! It's fun running the river again like we used to. So glad his knee has gotten better.

Haven't had the chance to run since last week. My son and his family came up from San Diego. We went up to the cabin and had a great time. 

Glad to be able to run again this week.

Three miles around the river with Sadie.  Saw and talked to Kris Milgate and then shortly after that met another runner Jose. Nice guy. Found out he'd just recently done a 100 mile race and then two weeks later did the Idaho Falls Marathon.

Rode the bike for 1 hour and then a little bit of home workout.
