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.

Can anyone tell from my # miles run what came in the mail yesterday? I got a new garmin. Great and timely warranty service.

I was running out of time during my son's preschool after doing two errands, but I thought I could get in 10 miles if I ran 7:30 pace. I hit the first mile in 7:18, then 7:33 on mile 2. By 1.5 miles the tightness in my throat was bugging me again. I am not sure why it happens, but the last time was last Tuesday and I basically have to slow down and concentrate on my breathing. It might have something to do with running two days at sea level, but that isn't enough time to make me unused to altitude, right?

So my speedy run went mediocre. Part of it may be getting out of shape, but 5 minutes after I stopped running I was still having constriction. The problem seems to be breathing in, not breathing out. Dang.

I am happy I was able to run though. My treadmill is still broken and the repair man isn't scheduled until next Tuesday. Paul comes home tonight around midnight then turns around and goes to Sydney Australia. Hopefully that will be his last trip for a while.

ave pace 8:03, not too bad considering.

I wouldn't think 2 days would have that big of an effect. And, YAY FOR NEW GARMIN! :-D
