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.

Woke up early and ran with MacK. I will definitely be needing a nap today. I have gone 6 days without caffeine and today will make seven. My detox is going well!

The run went fairly well. I am feeling pretty good. I can feel some soreness in my legs from getting worked over by Dr. Brady yesterday. He did acupuncture astem yesterday on my left leg which has mostly felt worse. This morning my left feels somewhat tight and my right somewhat achy so perhaps I'll request some more work on my right on Thursday.

Ave pace 8:09

Walked 3 miles during my son's soccor game.  I walked 2.6 but then the game ended, but I told myself I didn't get my sandwich (a hoagie for dinner--our classic dinner fare when we have soccor games) until I walked three miles, so I kept walking around until I got there.  I stretched after mile 1 and mile 3.

 I went to bed hungry tonight!  My stomach needs to shrink, I am thinking.

Stop it with the weight! I was 115 in college and I am skinny at 122 now and I'm running faster now. I ran that 1:18:49 at 125! BTW have you ever seen Katy O'neill run? or Magdelana? I almost always wax "skinny" girls at the line, and they won't even look twice at me because I don't look fast.
