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 saw Clay this morning as I drove down the mountain. He was going up Loafer, so I asked if I could join, he said sure but I'd have to catch him. I had to drive .5 mile to park still, so I drove, parked then thought, "Dang, he's 6 minutes ahead of me now, I'll never catch him!" Thankfully he stopped and stretched, so I stopped and did some stretching too. He's bouncing right back from his injury. We ran up to the Elk Ridge turnoff then back down. That's enough of Loafer Canyon for me. It keeps going up for another 2-2.5 miles, but it's a killer and much steeper than any race unless you're a crazy trail racer like our own mountain goat Jon.

I still had about 5 miles to run after dropping Clay off. My legs are tired. I am sure it's from the race, yesterday's tempo, and doing two runs yesterday.

Thanks for the welcome to the blog. It's nice to be on here and meet so many fellow runners. I have got to learn more about these ice baths that everyone is talking about. Wow, I am uneducated in the running dept. Who ever knew it was such a science?
