Local 10k's 2009 & 2010 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. |

| | Typical run at the gym this morning. Was alittle tired, but it's Friday. Fun seeing alot of runners there. Alot of stop and go during the first half of the run. Lots of talking (w/Marlin). Once my honey Marlin (love you honey) left to go to work the second half of the run went alot faster. :-) |

Slept in until 6:30 until Marlin came and woke me up. Made it to the gym just right after Marlin and he was wonderful enough to save me a TM by the window. I love running by the window on a longer run. It's always so much fun seeing the same people come and go and you're just still there running. I made myself hold it back alittle since this was suppost to be a long slow run. Now get to hang out at home, get a few things done and then relax. Hope everyone has a good run this weekend!
On a side not still trying to get employee's at work interested in doing a Fun Run in May. Next week Moses (Biggest Loser) and Apple Athletic are coming in. Sure hoping this motivates people! I think interest has picked up because management has put out a couple of prizes for people to participate. I'm finding it very sad that people are not more intested in taking care of themselves. But, if a prize is what it takes then I guess that's the way it is. Maybe once they start to notice a difference they'll see the benefit. Sure hoping they'll be able to relate to Moses and what he's overcome. We'll see how it goes. |

Went early this morning to the gym for intervals. Ran 7 miles with 4x1200 w/400. Alittle tired but glad I'd done the run.
Work is hectic today. We had Moses from the Biggest Loser in a few hours to help motivate people. He's such a nice guy and really enjoyed having him come in. |

It was tempting not to run this morning. Marlin thought other wise (there's the bus honey), turned on a light and then the tv. So so glad he woke me up!!! Thanks honey. Nice run. I'm liking being outside again. |

Kept it short this morning. It sure sounded windy this morning, but once I got down to the river it wasn't to bad. Actually saw a couple of other people this morning. Warmer weather is going to start bringing them out.
Afternoon run at the gym. 3.15 miles. |

Man oh man what a run today! Should have listened to my husband (Marlin) and went up with the group (lesson 1). A couple of reason why I didn't....I was up late watching my two neices (until 11pm) and I took my time in the morning. Then I ended up talking to my sister and dad which kind of put me behind. As I was heading up the hill I saw Lyndsi. She looked pretty good. As I sat up in my car ready to go at Bone I finally had to tell my dad...'dad, I need to go run'. Once I got started I couldn't believe how windy it was. For a split second I thought 'would be nice running down at the greenbelt'. But, I knew there were quite a few great runners up running so I thought...'if they can do it, so can I'. After a few miles I ran into Gary and then later Alana and Alisa and they all looked pretty good. When I got to around mile 4 or so I saw a big group of runners. Jeff, Lynette, Curt, Marlin, Cache. After talking for a few minutes I continued on. Just as I was getting to mile 8 Marlin shows up in the truck. He's the best husband in the world. He was going to stay with me as I finished the run. He had mentioned finishing my run in town, but I wasn't going to stop at that point because I didn't run into the wind for 8 miles just to quite at that point. I knew running back the wind would be at my back and I wanted to take advantage of that. Marlin would drive ahead at each mile and wait for me. I was filling bad that he was having to wait for me and mentally it got tougher to run. So, I threw in the towel and gave in.....he took me to the car and we headed into town. I went to the greenbelt to finish my last 5 miles and I have to say I think it was just as windy there as up on the hill. Just gotta say it was interesting to run in so much wind. Not my favorite thing to do, but glad to get a long run in. Everyone did great!
Today I woke up thinking of the days when I was raising my kids. Used to drop them off in grade school and head to the gym. Would work out for about an hour and a half and then there were days I could actually go to Mission Beach, Pacific Beach or a few other area's around San Diego and run. I can tell things aren't quite the same. Age kicked in. : ) |
