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.

4am is way too early to wake up. This mornings run felt just like a tax season run - I felt like death to start but then started feeling better with each mile, and each mile got quicker. Only had time for 5 miles before leaving Cal to make the long drive back to Utah. We made it. Trips are not good for training. I am glad to be back and to be able to sleep in my own bed tonight.

Good Job! 4am is very early to run... hopefully there were street lights where you were at, so you could see where you were running, lol.

From josse on Aug 28, 2008 at 21:20:06

We didn't have alot of street lights but we did come across some strobe lights. It kind of freaked us out.

Yup, 4 am runs aren't fun, but the sure build character.
