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.

First run in a week this morning.  Started out alright and felt good to run.  By the end of the run my calfs felt tight again.  Not sure if it was from Boston or all the walking we did in New York.  I've never walked so much in my life.  I think on my lunch today I'll hurry and an get my gym bag and go to the gym after work.  I want to do the ellipticaland/or rowing machine. Now back to work and normal life.  Ummmm.

Went back to the gym after work.  Just did the  rowing machine for 30 min's, stretched (alot) and did a couple of weights.

I was tired when I woke up. But, still got up to run.  Afterwards I went for a blood test.  They're testing to see if I've got any food sensitivities. Should be able to find out  tomorrow. May have the gluten thing going on so we'll see.

Decided not to run today.  Went ahead and rode our bike at home for 45 min's.  Plan on working out again after work.

I've been having a hard time running this week.  Rode the bike at home the last two days.  Feel like a slacker, but it's been nice doing something else.  

Went to the doc yesterday to see what they said about blood test results.  So far it looks Marlin and I will be going gluten free.  They actually want to do a few more test to find out what foods cause the issue.  At the first appointment the doc. said I'm getting plently of oxygen into my system, but only around 25% of the nutrients that I eat.  He went into detail yesterday explaining it all to Marlin and I and it sure does make sense and explains alot of why I feel the way that I do.  I'm sure glad we've got friends who are dealing with the same things.  It's going to help figure thing out and get educated on being gluten free. 

Just also found out at work that they're going to cut back some of management.  I guess I'll see on Monday if my job's affected.  Not sure if they're laying off or moving people into different postions.  Sure wish they would have waited until Monday to announce anything.  Not the best email to get on a Friday.

Went for an early run this morning.  Pretty cold.  I had actually set out later than Marlin did.  I wanted to wait just before the sun came out.  Wasn't sure how far I wanted to run when I set out.  Happy to get alittle over 10 miles in.   Leg and hip felt pretty good, better than it did before Boston.  Last mile I started to feel it getting sore like it used to. 

Spent the rest of the day running errands and getting a couple of things done at home.
