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.

9 hours of sleep before this workout. AM: 6-8x1,000m cruise intervals (200m rest) and then 3x200m. 3.5 mile warm up, stretching and strides. goal pace was 3:43-3:47, starting slower so that I didn't wear out. I wanted to do 8 but I have been so tired, and down emotionally, so I wasn't sure how I would feel. But this workout was my best executed workout of the season so far, so that feels great. 3:46 (1:30 rest), 3:46 (1:30 rest), 3:45 (1:29 rest), 3:45 (1:44 rest, Mack joined here), 3:43 (the Mack bump, 1:44 rest), 3:43 (1:36 rest), 3:45 (1:38 rest), 3:42, (2:48 rest), 35 (1:37 rest), 35 (1:39 rest), 36.1, 1.92 mile cool down on my new orthotics. Would have liked to do more cool down but this was a long workout and I had to get home for my 1.5 hour massage. Calves were like bricks. Lots of tension in my neck and shoulders.

PM: 40 min on TM, 4.86 miles
