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.

Ran 8 miles this morning.  Pretty good for a Monday.  I've been trying to stay away from running just 7 miles.

Went to the gym earlier this morning.  Once I got out of bed it wasn't to bad.  Ran 8.5 miles and then had time to stretch.  And, had more time to get ready for work. Kinda nice not being in such a hurry.  Work was all right.  Our client Sony is in town for the next few days to show our agents some upcoming things coming out before the holidays.  I'll be glad when they're done hiring.  Makes my job pretty hectic every week.

Didn't want to wake up quite as early as yesterday. But, I still made it to the gym before 6am, so I was happy.  Ran 8 miles.  Legs haven't been tired like they sometimes get.  Did a few stretches and then off to work.

Ran in the gym this morning.  It was almost tempting not to go.  Glad I got the miles for the week.

Went to the seminar to hear Jeff and Gray talk about winter running.  Lots of good tips.  I'm wanting to run more outside this winter and feel it's possible now.  I ran down around the river this morning and really enjoyed my run - even with it being 14 degrees.  I'm always amazed when I talk to someone who runs outside all year long.  With our warm gear on this morning Marlin and I almost didn't recognize each other morning.  It was pretty funny.  Good thing he yelled out my name.    Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Tried to be tough and brave the cold and wind this morning.  I was surprised how warm I was.  Actually over dressed.  But, really enjoyed myself.  The last couple of miles there was alittle bit more wind.  But, was happy to be outside.   Felt bad for Marlin because he hasn't been feeling well.  Hope it doesn't get to sick!

My best friend from high school and I have been keeping in touch more lately.  I remember lots of fun times causing trouble as a kid.  And, I remember the accident we were in where our car rolled 5 times.  We were in a voltswagon bug and a car crossed over into our lane as were driving into town.  We just kinda lost touch during college.  So, it's been great talking and seeing her more.  She's started running a few weeks ago!!!  Now, just need to get her talked into doing a race in the spring!
