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.

Slept alittle longer than I wanted to but still made it to the gym before 5:30am.  Just had time for alittle over 7 miles before going to work.  Seems like I'm always running late for work.

Woke up later than I thought! I'm not sure if it was due to riding the bike at home after work yesterday or just being tired.  Still went ahead and went to the gym.  Ran intervals since it was Tue.  I was happy I still made it to work on time.   No workout after work.  Since my parents are in town I went over to see them for awhile.  Then brought my two neices home with me since there were there too.   

ActuaIlly applied for a job with the City of IF a couple of days ago.  Have no idea if I'll even hear them them.  I wonder how many ap's they got.

Made it to the gym pretty early today.  Yahoo!!   Pretty good run overall.  Managed 8.25 before leaving for work.  Hope everyone's had a good day!

Early morning run. Time was short, but managed to get 6 miles in.

Went back to the gym after work since I felt guilty about the morning run.  Ran 5 miles and then stretched really well.

Early morning run at the gym.  I didn't want to attempt a long run outside yet.  I think this week I'll run after work a few days to get used to it.  Met a couple that are just moving here from Minn.  I'd met the husband about a week ago one morning.  Met his wife today.  Great meeting them.  Then talked to another friend for awhile when I was headed to the sauna.   It's always pretty interesting seeing people's reaction when you say you just ran 20 miles on a TM.  

Spending the day at home and then out for appetizers with friends.   Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!
