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.

Uneventful run except for putting my mittens on and taking them off over and over since I couldn't decide whether to have hands a little too cold or a little too hot and sweaty.

Kept a good pace so I could do 13 miles.

I always leave the mittens on but push up my sleeves a little- provides some cooling without the hassle of on-off-on-off.

hey speedy!! I had to laugh when I read about your mitten situation. That is exactly what I did several times during my early am run this morning for the exact same reasons. Great run!!!

I always like having my hands a bit hot than too cold. What I've learned from doing some halfs in the cold is that it is much easier to let off a bit of steam from hands than to regain warmth. Once they go cold they stay that :(

You are slicing and dicing running chicka! Take no prisoners!
