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.

Not enough sleep. Nothing diet cherry pepsi can't cure :) My treadmill is still broken so I met with Josse and we ran from her home before I went into work.

My stomach was way upset, like gas bubbles in the high part of my abdomen. I think it is soda/caffeine/lack of sleep related.

It was great to run with Josse and catch up with her. (Thanks for letting me use your shower and for working your schedule around me!!!!!!)

I have a trip to CA, driving out to Salinas Sunday, back on Tuesday due to my grandmother's death. So I am more busy crunched for time than ever. Paul is still in Singapore. Life is crazy!

Your stomach upset sounds stress related. Hardly surprising with everything going on in your life at the moment. I need a calming mint tea just to read your blog. When I was in the RAF I was refused permission to go to my grandmother's funeral, I went anyway and have never once regretted that. I hope things ease up a little for you soon.

So sorry to hear about your grandmother. You're in my prayers. I know how that is, having lost all my grandparents before I turned 15. Hope everything works out okay. And your comment about diet cherry Pepsi made my mouth water. I've really been craving soda lately, even after like 15 months! It's an addiction I tell you! haha. Stay strong and Run Happy. :)
