Personal:

I used to run for BYU, but only after trying out three times and finally walking on, so I was never a star. However, it was wonderful to run with great people and under Coach Shane. When you run with fast people, you can't help to improve! I graduated BYU in 1998, and didn't run a race until 2002, after having my second child. My hiatus and other crazy life commitments have made my competitive running suffer, but the last couple of years I have tried to get back into it the best I can. I have been married since 1996, to Paul Lowry, who is a runner himself. I have three boys (my three rascals), ages 8, 6, and 4.

Slept in until 7:20!

Was planning on going to work and running in the afternoon, but my daycare had a sick child, so I ran after helping my boys with their breakfast.

Ran 4.09 in Woodland Hills. Nice and hilly. I am excited to do a longish (18 mile) run tomorrow. It will be my first hard workout after the marathon. Not hard from an effort standpoint, just because it's so long. I am excited to get back into training, but need to ramp up the miles gradually.

I feel like I am coming down with a cold, but I don't feel that poorly, just stuffy nose. Took some Zicam.

I was like, what the freak is Josse talking about? But then I saw it. Thanks babe! When you coming back?

Marcie - I have not decided yet for sure. I am leaning toward PF Chang and will hopefully firm it up this week. I can't wait to get back into training. I am hungry for more, and excited to do a fair flat marathon and start my quest :)
