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.

10.68 in 1:16:36 (7:10 ave pace). Met Roberto again. He is a 2:38 (I think) marathoner and has pulled me along on a couple of runs, which has helped me to not get into a slump as I moved out here. He's also provided a lot of info on running and living in HK, so helpful. I have a 10k on Sunday, and I know it is going to be hot and humid, so i was thinking to go out at 39:00 pace, but the course record is 38:23 and if I break that record then I get another $380 in cash ($3000HKD). Roberto Googled me apparently and saw my race times, and of course 36:02 sounds really good, but that is DesNews, a bit different than a flat 10k, eh? I am not sure if I can do 38:22, given the conditions, my adjusting to them, and where I am in my training cycle. I don't want to end up on a stretcher. I will need to run by feel (trying not to go out at a crash and burn pace) and I'll go for it if it feels right. I think that's the answer.

Didn't the Waterboy's father change his name to Roberto?
