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.

AM: Decided to do ab workout in the morning first (this is all after kids go off to school). Definitely, Maybe (the movie) was on so I did my abs while watching the movie. Marion comes over and witnesses the sloth and indolence --a romantic comedy in the morning--what's with me? I then walk on the treadmill 1.72 and chat with Marion til she has to motor. Then I called some clients, then went outside. Walked 3, then ran 4 (7:37 ave pace, uphill mile in there), was kind of pressed for time, then walked 1.3, so I got my 10 miles in for today.

Love the weight, but it comes on the heels of two days of stomach issues, I have been counting calories, but haven't been able to keep my calories as low as I'd like because of stomach upset (my stomach hurts--I should eat some more food, I know the logic isn't quite there), so good weight but assisted by some evacuation.

I love the vision of you watching a romantic comedy before noon trying listlessly to do your sit ups. It's not like there are rules about those things (like you have to wait until cocktail hour or something). But it's funny, kind of like eating cake for breakfast. Good job watching the calories these days. I'm keeping my pinky promise too, I've really cut back on tempura fried peanut butter dipped in cotton candy and bacon all the time. So I may not actually lose any weight--just hopefully not gain any more. If you've been sick--don't be sad if you gain 2 pounds back in the next few days. By next Friday they'll be gone for real.
