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 12, 10, and 8.

After a great 2008 season, I was injured and eventually diagnosed and cross-diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis, a type of arthritis disease, which precludes running for all but the most stubborn.  So I am on medications, trying to stay healthy, and seeing my PT often.  And running!  Now beating the streets in Hong Kong.

Walked 3.02 in 40:30ish, 13:25 ave pace

then 20 min pool running, more serious intensity this time.  I'll be hitting the pool more this week.  Pool running only unless Marion wants to give me a swim lesson :)  

I am sooo wanting to run.

I forgot my medicine (to be taken in two doses) until 6pm last night, so took first dose then and second at 10ish.  I felt some pain on my left SI area, 1-2ish, felt better by this morning.  Marion will say that is psychotic psychosis and I won't argue.

Walking, 3.66 in 48:33, 13:17 ave pace, did a sub 13 minute for the first time, 12:52 in mile 2, in mile three tried to break 13 again, but felt a couple of stabs of SI pain (up to 2) so decided that was not a good idea.

pool ran 30 minutes.  Did Josse's arm resistance form part of the time, and that made my hands hurt after a while.

I am sooo grateful to be able to exercise, to feel strong when I walk, to be able to get my heart rate up. 

I am preparing for camping at Bear Lake (ok we are renting a KOA cabin, so it's half camping).  Here's a recipe we have used before and it is soo good so we are doing again http://www.recipezaar.com/Cing-Banana-Boat-53558, It's a banana, choc chip marshmallow dessert.  Yumm!

Walked 1.66 in 24:12, 14:35 ave pace

Then pool ran 45 minutes, brisker pace pool running than when I started a week ago.  Anyone want to pool run with me at the SF reservoir tomorrow morning?  I won't do it alone, but that may be an option if I can rope someone into doing it with me.

Oh yeah! first sub 140 in a month :)

And my first Clay sighting while exercising!  That was as exciting for me as seeing a big flock (ok herd) of elk is for TylerS.

Walked 6 miles in 1:19:30, or 13:14 ave pace

We are headed up to Bear Lake through Tuesday, so don't expect any posts for a couple of days, but I do plan on lake running, which should be an adventure.  I do plan on eating lots of unhealthy food on the trip, so what does that mean?  I will need to be active during the trip to compensate.  Ahh, it's going to be fun, if a little cold for a lake vacation.
