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.

Beautiful day!  Ran first loop around the greenbelt before running into my sister.  We did another loop and finished up at 6.25 miles.   Loving the weather!

Walked at lunch alittle over 1.25 miles.

Only felt so so this afternoon.  Didn't know if it was because I hadn't eaten very well today or what it was.  Just didn't have it all today.  But, managed to get alittle over 6 miles. 

Walked at lunch just to get outside!   Nice getting a way.

Loved the weather today.  Ran 6.3 around the greenbelt.  Right after I'd left to go home Marlin called and was headed there to run.  Since I was so close what do I do??? Turn around and run another loop around the river.  Was glad to get alittle over 9 miles today!

Ran after work today.  Down around the river and Freeman Park. The weather is unbelievable!   I've been tired. Slept 30 min late this morning.  Overall pace as 9:22.  Kinda bummed over that, but it'll be better tomorrow.

Ran after work today. Ended up going 7.25 miles because I decided to try and meet up with Marlin. I ended up meeting up with Kelly and so I turned around and finished with her.  Overall I was happy with my pace around 8:30 for majority of run.  Slowed some on the hills over by Freeman Park.

Good day to run around the river.  Waited until later this afternoon rather than running this morning.  Avg pace 8:58.    Should take tomorrow off.  We'll see what happens.   Today's Marlin's B-day.  Sure hope he had a good day even tho he worked.  He's going Las Vegas on Wen.

Ended up at the gym today due to the snow. Sure wish it was good enough to run outside.  I was alittle tired at the end, but I ran 7 miles today.  Kept it between a 8:40- 9:00 pace. Different running on a TM. Overall, good run.

Six miles at the gym today.  I would have liked to run outside by it was breezy and didn't know how cold it would be.  It's alittle hard getting used to running on a TM.  Kinda boring.

Was tempted today to run outside.  But, i kinda like being able to stretch more and do planks & situps after running.   The run was eastier today than yesterday.  I did a few cruise intervals today.  Good run.

Ended up at the gym again today. Just can't get motivated to run outside when it's gloomy.  Ended up running 10 miles.  After the 6th mile I just kept adding 1more and when I reached 8 knew I'd need to do 10.  I figured I'd have to take today off because I have to drive to Salt Lake to pick up my son from the airport this morning.  Can't wait to see him.  He's here until Tue!

Not a good run today.  Stressed to much.  Found out my dad needs open heart surgery and he's in his 80's.  The biggest thing he has going for him is he's worked out his whole adult life.  Don't know to much right now.  So, there's alot of things up in the air still.   Crappy run on the TM.

Didn't feel like going to the gym today  since it was Sat. but, was glad once the workout was done.   Did some situps after running and the day was done.
