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.

Fri morning, occasional sharp pains both by my SI joint and lower (sitting bone).  Attempted to run before Dr. Brady appt at 2:15.  Last appt he was debating whether to give me steroids so I needed to give him more data. It was so lovely to run at all, and to run in the sun, and for it to be decently warm (39F).  I could feel soreness, but it wasn't jaw clenching and it didn't cause my whole right leg to tighten up, so I was very happy overall. I ran on the river trail toward a potty, but they are still closed for the season, and since I drink alot at work I had to go, so I ran to the Pachev home.  They graciously let me use their bathroom, and Sasha and Ben were toeing the line for a run together, so i joined them for just under a mile as I ran back to the Drs.  

 Dr. Brady said he'll give me another week before ordering a bone scan (if I don't improve, slight chance of stress fracture).  I am tender on my sitting bone, so he and Megan tag teamed me and worked me over pretty good.  I felt really good the rest of the day.  Drove up to SLC to have a night/day away from the kids.   We went to the Market Street grill and shared an appetizer and dessert.  The dessert was a to die for cake, that was almost flourless, tasted like a chocolate candy bar with a hint of carmel.  So good.

Hang in there. Enjoy the decadence while you can.
