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 to the gym today to run with my heart monitor.  Haven't used it in a LONG time.  My HR always runs high.   Ran on the lower level TM's and it was kinda nice. Usually they hurt my shins.  I ran at different speeds to see what the monitor would say.  By the end of the run I was at 7:53 miles and my HR was at 177/178.  After running me and my daughter Malory did some arm weights.  Was pretty happy with the workout. Tomorrow there is a crosstraining class I"m going to do at 6am.  I figure I'll run first and then go do the class.

Went to the gym early this morning!!!  It's been a long time since I've gone that early. I was holding off becasue I'd been worried I wouldn't have enough time to stay longer if I wanted a longer workout.  I tried it this morning because there was a cross training class that was at 6am.  So, I wanted to get a run in before the class. Ran 5 miles and then did the class.  It was pretty interesting.  We did a few cross training things and then rode the bike for 20 min & then ran 1mile. I'm going to really and try and give it a fair chance.  But, I will still run before the class.  I expected more girls to be there.  There was only 2 of us! And, I think there was 7 guys.  Overall, it was good because the instructor was female.  Thank goodness!

I liked getting my run done early in the morning.  I talked to my boss and he's fine with whenever I want to come in. Nice!  It'll be another early day tomorrow.

Another early day at the gym.  Pretty nice going and seeing everyone and I get to run with Marlin.  Getting up early is a pain but the trade offs are worth it. I've been doing alittle speed work out and I could sure feel it in my legs today.  I ran the normal 6 and actually got off to go do some weight. I ended up going back and running another 2.  I was still able to get to work by 7:30am.  Tomorrow is the cross training class again. So far I still plan on going.   Hopefully my legs feel better in the morning.

Went to the gym bright and early this morning.  Love going in the morning.  Except the first 5 min's waking up. My legs have been sore so did an easy run today.  Been putting in some speed work and am trying out the cross training class.  Makes me want to try some other classes. But, have to be able to get my run in first.   Legs are still sore so we'll see how tomorrow goes. It was great running with Marlin! Not many people there this morning.  But, it was great to see Jeff. I'm always impressed!  : )

Made it to the gym early today.  Legs were still alittle sore but overall ok.  Started at a 9:13 pace for the first couple of miles and then continued to bump it up until the end ended up at an 8:34 pace.  Just did a couple of arm weights afterwards.

Went to the gym early today. Wanted to get my run done so I didn't have to worry about it later.  Ran 15 on the TM. I started to get really tired around 12 miles. I should have kept my pace down more. Was glad to make it through the last 3 miles!  Went between a 8:49 and 8:34.  Marlin did great today.  He ran 20  on the TM.
