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.

Oops, meant to run 8 and got an extra mile. I went around the HS track 4 times to try to tramp down the snow. I may be doing a time trial to figure out my optimal paces on Saturday. We'll see.

Included in 9 mile run were 6x20-25 sec strides, about a minute rest in between. Felt fine during them. Like crum otherwise.

What are you doing on saturday?

From Burt on Thu, Dec 17, 2009 at 19:08:27 from 12.231.112.98

Me? Going to a friend's wedding. Why?

From MichelleL on Thu, Dec 17, 2009 at 19:13:57 from 71.213.97.46

Josse, since Burt is otherwise engaged, I guess you might need to come hang with me. We are doing a warm up, then a time trial -2000m on the track, all out but preferrably negative split, then more miles. I plan on running 11-12 miles. We set 7am as a start time. Want to join? IT'S GOING TO BE FUNNN!

From josse on Fri, Dec 18, 2009 at 14:36:29 from 75.216.27.178

Track?!? I don't know about fun but I guess so.....

Michelle, please hurry up and post how your time trial went (and how you are feeling afterward). Thank you.
