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.

Ok, I just got a few miles in this morning. When I got to the gym I saw Debra and Marlin running.  I went back and did my usual on the Archtrainer.  After Marlin left to go to work Debra came back to me and asked why I wasn't running.  I'd actually thought about it driving into the gym, but, wasn't sure how I felt at that point.   Long story short I went ahead and ran for the second half of my cardio.  My hip was alittle tight but managed to do 3 miles.  Debated on doing 4 miles, but wanted to make sure I had time for weights and stretching.  Not many miles but at least I ran!

Woke up early to run SRL this morning.  After running after work yesterday I felt pretty good.  It was alot cooler than yesterday afternoon which was nice.  Pace was good for the majority of the run, but I start to go downhill as the run goes on.  Still have a ways to go, but getting there.

Had a great run this morning along the Boise bike path along the river.  I love staying downtown and being able to walk right out and the path is right there.  I really enjoy Sat morning runs.  No pressure to go to work.  I was just happy to go more than my usualy 6.  Would have liked to go alittle longer, but I knew my mom was waiting for me.  We came over to Boise last night so that she could see her sister today.  It was pretty hard to go see her because she just went into a nursing home about 2 weeks ago.  She had been having a hard time adjusting so they didn't want her to have visiters until this weekend.  When we saw her 3 weeks ago I'm not 100% sure she knew knew who mom was (her sister).  But, today as soon as she saw us she knew exactly who we were. She even knew who I was.  I think she may have kind of remembered my daughter who was with us too.  Big improvement!  : )  

I was reminded about quite a few things today. Be grateful! 

***Way to go honey.  You did great today.  Very happy for everyone running TOU today!***
