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.

Woke up this morning and decided to stay home and ride the exercise bike.  I was still tired from working up at the cabin.  After work I sure felt like running.  A gloomy overcast day....a perfect day to run!  Ran six miles and by the end it had started to rain.  Love running in the rain!

Went to the gym early this morning.  It was great to run next to Marlin.  Stopped by Jeff to say a quick hi since he looked like he was focused on his run.  Boy, he always amazes me.  

Since I ran yesterday after work I was glad todays run wasn't to hard. I know I'm still takig it pretty easy,  but, at least I'm planning on switching things up here soon. At least alittle bit.

I stayed home and rode our exercise bike this morning.  My hips felt weak for the rest of the day.  I wasn't sure if it was from the bike or the other exercises I did afterwards.  But, still a good workout.

I went ahead and ran this morning.  Overall, it felt ok.  I made sure and stretched after.  Just kept it at 6 miles today.

Had a good run running to Marlin this morning.  Felt pretty good.  I had done some stretches last night before going to bed so I was happy that my hips didn't bug me and hurt. 

I'm glad it's Friday and looking forward to going to the cabin again this weekend!  This time won't do so much work. Now that we know how to get water into it durning the winter and drain it when we leave I think it'll get used alot more this winter.   Might go to the ski sale coming up and look for some cross country skis'.

Hope everybody has a good weekend!

Slept in alittle today because I stayed up late last night.  Went over to my sisters for a few minutes because she was having some of her things moved.  Went into the river and saw Marlin leaving. We talked about it getting late and going to the cabin. So, I decide to give up my run and go home.  Once there he and I talk more about going and change our mind. We decide that we can learn Friday afternoon and stay until Sunday. So, off I go again over to my sisters to see if things got moved and then finally head back into the river.  Just ran 6 miles and thought about going longer, but it was still cold! 

Later Marlin and I went into the Verizon because we both were having problems with our phones.  Then off to Red Robin to eat.  Decided to go to the running store afterwards because my other sisters birthday is coming up and I wanted to get something for her.  It was great meeting David who's back in I.F. for alittle while. 

Boy, today's flown by.
