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.

No pain getting out of bed in morning, no pain in the middle of the day, with the exception of getting out of the car once, and when scooting on table when laying on my back at the PT. No pain in bed during naptime. Pain in bed when went to bed, 3-4 level. Dang.

PT: focused on hamstring and glute. Discussed getting off crutches and Steve thinks I should get off gradually over the next week. He gave me some exercises to do to help me get off my crutches since my attempts at walking demonstrate I am not ready to get rid of crutches cold turkey. Exercises are doing a walking motion, right foot and crutches step forward and step back, gradually allowing my leg to have full weight. Less jarring than just walking around my house. Did each foot 15 times. Did it again at night. I did way too much cleaning in the afternoon, enough to make the bottom of my left foot positively ache.

last night(to/from kitchen-couch 4 times), show I am a total grampa. My ham hurt when walking, felt stiff and like I had no power in right side. No pain in SI when walking.

My next PT is Monday. I won't meet again with Dr. McLane until the end of the 4 weeks of sloth and indolence.
