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 on my own for 7.5 miles, then met up with some new SF folks and ran with them.  I felt better today than Thursday. 15 miles in 7:59 ave pace.  Did a tiny throw up at the end of the run, not because I was running hard.  That was weird.

Oh yeah, had an uncomfortable, 2.5 hour root canal yesterday.  

My second son was baptized today, and we had family over for pizza, lasagna, salad, and a very fancy, very toxic strawberry cake made by Marion, with a gummy bear on each piece of cake.  She is such a generous friend.  I had some **nice** sharp pain in my teeth when I bite, but only every 10th bite or so, but when it happens I actually jump, it is quite jolting, but it subsides quick.  Just enough to keep me on my toes. 

Nap in the afternoon and core workout in the evening.  I am still throaty.

Congratulations to your son. Isn't Marion the best?

Bummer about the root canal. Congratulations on your son's baptism. I am glad you felt better for your long run. Thursday sounds painful.

My body will not willingly give up food. I only can throw up for two things: pregnancy and anasthesia. I sure hope you're doing ok. Root canals are the worst. I know that shocking jolt of nerve pain. Be well.
