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.

Dreamt I was the vice president to Barrack Obama, shadowed him all day then hung out with Michelle and their kids at night. Fun.

Too much snow, so ran 6 miles on the treadmill. This is my first run since the marathon. I haven't felt sore for several days, but running has recalled some soreness. I guess I just feel a little beat up still. Ran one mile, then stretched, ran 5 more, then good stretching session at the end. Nice to be back in the saddle, I am sad that my first run back had to be on the treadmill. I truly hate it.

Pace was 8:00 after 1.25 miles of easier, felt fast enough for me.

weight: 122 (first time weighing in in 1.5 weeks, I'm glad the news isn't worse, it would have been higher, I am sure, but the treadmill makes me sweat)
