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.

Woke up early and met MacK, but it was windy! We ran away from the wind at about 7:30 pace, felt really easy, because the wind was at our backs. Coming back (turned around at 3 mile because she had to get back home) was a whole different story, we couldn't hardly talk, she had a hard time breathing and got light headed a couple of times and had to walk to get her head back. At times it felt like we were jogging in place, the whole time it felt like I was running in a swimming pool. Instead of finishing up my mileage when we got back to our cars, I drove home, changed my clothes and hopped on the treadmill for my last 5.1 miles (@ 7:30 pace). I am happy I got in 11 miles even though the wind was a serious issue this morning. I will be trying to cut into my sleep this week without dropping mileage as I ease into working more hours.

Way to be diligent and get in those extra miles! It was windy here today too, but mostly it just helped me up a hill- didn't have to face it too much. Have a great week super chick!

Oh that wind sounds horrible! Nice job on keeping the miles up as you start some craziness at work!

yup nice work. It's hard to keep the mileage up between jobs and family. It's all about getting those extra ones in when you can.
