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.

Felt way worn down yesterday so "slept in" until 4:25am. Paul is out of town so my weekday outside running will be in the mid-morning while my youngest is in preschool.

Josie was kind enough to arrange to meet me in SF. We were supposed to do speed, but I woke up with a sore throat and generally feel lethargic, and she has a race on Sat. so we decided just to do a bunch of strides. We had some not so nice dogs approach us barking, and I was like, "Josse, seriously stay right by my side, I am scared!" They didn't bite. Then when we were doing strides a nicer dog joined us and was more energetic than us, I would taunt the dog with competitive rhetoric then he would smoke me during the stride. I tried to focus on my form. The dog smoked us on number 10, hurting my pride :)

Thanks for bending over backwards for my crazy schedule Josse! You make my running so much more enjoyable.

I mailed off my Garmin for repair/replacement after the run. I will likely get it back in 3-4 weeks. I guess that's ok since I am getting slower and don't especially care to know it every mile and I am doing lots of treadmill anyway.

pace thanks to Josse's garmin:

ave pace 8:07.

I don't envy your schedule. Good job on your continued training! It sounds like you're making the best of it.

Is your Garmin under warranty? When I inquired about a repair on my old one it was not cost effective...

It is under warranty.

Which one do you have? They are coming out with the 405 like this month it is smaller and more like a regular watch... It is also compatible with the heart rate monitor from the 305.

I to do not envy your schedule!
