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.

Laid in bed listening to the birds chirping until my alarm went off at 6:05am. Pure luxury to sleep in that long. It is so nice to have a cool start to June. It will make me less resentful when the hot temperatures come.

I met MacK and JH in Salem and we did a Payson loop together. They were spry and kept pulling out fast splits, I would hang behind, trying to put the breaks on the group a little because I want my easy day to be easy. In the end it was kind of easy. I ran with them for 7.5, then slowed it down on my own to finish almost 10.5. Toward the end of my run and after I have some tenderness on the outside of my heel bone, and one foot is also achy on the top inside. I am icing it right now. Perhaps the achiness I tend to feel when I am around 70 miles pw has begun.

I will probably do the 10 mile on the 14th. I am going to run a 15 mile trail run this weekend for my long run, and since the long term goal is the marathon, the longer races are the way to go.

I agree that downhill running is rough on the legs. After Sat was the first time my knees and shins felt sore in a while. Although I spent a few hours on Sat. and Sun. moving into a new house also, so that might have played a factor.

Nice workout on Tues.

It didn't look like to me you were lagging behind, at least when I passed you you wasn't. Did that sound right? Oh well I'm sticking with it!

Sounds right enough to me (sounds enough right?). I don't think we need to over edit on these comments.
