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.

65`? Thats odd ;-). I "finally" got my new schedule, looks like I have to back off my long runs to 90-105` for a while -- wish I ran as fast as you, then 105` would give me 13-14 miles ;-). Have a good day Michelle!

You think I should be doing more? I'll be getting a new schedule in two weeks and it will go up, I am sure.

ha ha ha, who am I to 2nd guess the coach? No ... I was just responding to 65` -- I only get numbers that are divisible by 10` ;-). Although, now that you mention it, I did in fact have some 65`s in there during my marathon build-up. I am still so happy about your race -- and I guess you are feeling good and recovered today?

My range was 55-65 min, so I could have gone even. I feel pretty good, just some heaviness still from Saturday. I guess my pace today is my form of cheating. I want to get in as many miles as I can in my allotted minutes for this week, since I will just barely be able to get in the 60's with the plan.
