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.

I ran thru Salem to SF and back. Watch ran out of juice so I mapped the run on the course tool, but didn't save it since its a variation of what I normally do.

Thanks for your nice comments!

I study Informatics in graduate school.

You are much faster!

What do you mean by "unaided" and "aided"?

From MichelleL on Oct 22, 2008 at 09:57:22

Aided means I'm in a jazzy. . .

Totally kidding. Aided means the race is net downhill, and many races in Utah, especially 1/2 marathon and marathon, are aided in Utah because of the mountain ranges and the beautiful canyons we live by. A course is unaided if it has no net elevation loss.

My husband is a professor of Information Systems at BYU, so I actually know what informatics is. Go figure.
