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.

Ran easy, 8:08 pace, happened upon the fast ladies and ran with them for a while. It feels good to do less than 10 for an easy run!

Ran in the evening on treadmills trying to choose one, working the treadmills to 6 min miles.

I feel great. I don't think the speed session made my legs hurt today. My knees aren't bothering me, even when going up or down stairs.

I had some fudge yesterday, but ate oatmeal for breakfast this morning! I gave away 2.5 pounds of fudge at work, found there was too much at home still and gave some away to a couple of neighbors so it all didn't end up on my hips.

So, does 1/2 a cup of brown sugar on the oatmeal negate the benefits of eating oatmeal???? I guess I should cut down the brown sugar and cut out the fudge. . .

I eat vegetable salads with dressings, but only lowfat or nonfat. I found a really great low fat asian dressing, seriously the best dressing I have tasted in years--Kraft Light Asian Toasted Sesame. That's how I get my greens.

BTW, they are still so much faster than me. Mck said today that she averages 7min-7:30 on her 20+ mile runs!!!! That blows the wind out of my sails about my 8:17 on Saturday. She does do quite a few tempo miles within them, but geez. They'll be called the fast ladies for a long while.

I am so needing a running partner and you seem to be around my pace (actually you probably are a little faster). But just email me and perhaps we can run sometime. Meganmariec@hotmail.com

I ran for CU (walk-on) and graduated in 2001 so we are about the same age. Please drop me a line whenever.
