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.

Decided to run outside. The first few miles were kinda cool.  It was just my toes that got cold.  The remainder of the run wasn't to bad.  Ended up being a pretty good run.

Decided to go to the gym this morning.  Wanted to get a good run in and it was warmer. Didn't feel like runninaababaceg outside.  Ended up running 7 miles.  I was happy that I did a few intervals the last 3 miles.  Did a few stretches, weights and sauna afterwords.

Marlin woke me up earlier this morning.  Made it to the gym just alittle earlier.  Overall, it was a good run.  Alittle tired.  Once I got to 7 miles I knew I wanted to do just alittle bit more.  Ended up running 1 more mile.  Wanted to make sure and leave some time to stretch before heading home to get ready for work. 

Work ended up being pretty busy.  Ended up going into two different training classes to teach Quality.  It'll be nice when all the trainnings get done. We've been ramping up for the holidays and I think this was the last two classes or we have 1 or 2 more.  Dec. will be nice because I'm going to use about PTO that I can't carry over into next year.  So, I've got alittle over 40 hours to use up. 

Marlin leaves to run the Las Vegas Marathon tomorrow in the afternoon.  I had taken the time off to go, but, my parents are flying in tomorrow morning from Ariz.  I don't feel right about them getting here in the morning and me leaving that afternoon.  So, I'm not going on this LV this trip.  I'm excited for Marlin.  He'll do great.

Didn't get a run in.  Rode our new bike at home.  It was nice doing something else.

Got to the gym alittle later than expected.  Stopped by my parents and got caught up talking to them.  Ended up having a good run - 8 miles.  Then took the time to do some weights and stretched.

I was so glad to get to the gym early this morning.  It was great to see Jeff, Andrea, Kami & Lynette.  After getting the run done I made sure to take the time and do some weights and stretch.  After working out I stopped to pick up my neice a birthday gift.  We had a birthday party for her this afternoon.  Can't believe she's 10 yrs old!  She is amazing.
