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. |

Bad quality sleep. Yuck!
Way cold, 3F. Met MacK and did 7 miles, then one more on my own. Glad I am starting to decrease miles. 13 miles in that cold would have done me over. ave pace 8:26 weight 121

I am retiring these shoes. They felt non-helpful. I met Mary Ann S. in SF midday for mile repeats. I thought to do 5 if we ended up 5:55ish and fewer if faster. 2.68 warm up FSI (for Sasha's information) I wheeled a mile before we met to make sure watches weren't off. My watch matched the mile marker within feet.
Anyone as obsessive about my running as me (ok, I guess noone would be) can compare this workout to my Sept 23rd same workout before St. G. 1 - 5:41, (miles 1 and 3 are new downhill of about 53 feet if I remember right, so 2 and 4 are net uphill the same amount) slowed down last couple of yards to not be sub 5:40, I guess that was kind of stupid 2 - 5:48 3 - 5:41 4 - 5:43 So averaged about 4 sec faster per mile than in September. Nice to see improvement. I felt like I was holding back, but perhaps I felt that way in September since I was tapering then as well.
Mary Ann came in approx 10 sec behind me each time, she'd start out with me, even pushing pace, then would struggle with breathing a bit. It was so great to have Mary Ann join me. We had some fun conversation. She's serious about her running, and that's right up my alley. I can dig it. weight 120

Ran with MacK then a tad on my own to get to 10. Not as cold (26F). weight 120. I am going to start tracking my miles driven as a shoe so that I have records for my tax return of what I drove for 2009 without having to reconstruct. My driving miles are my #1 expense. Abs and ham strengthening in the evening. Ouch.

| Ran 7.5 with Ali midday. No strides, just mediumish pace. I was hoping for shorts weather but it was only 30F or so, so spandex once again!
7:30 ave pace

| Man, I can't find one of my windbreaker shell on my mittens, and it was cold this morning (9F in riverbottoms). Combine the two and I just about lost a couple of digits. Met up with the SF group, started off with MacK and Ali, then Travis met up with us, MacK wanted to start the tempo early, which as a consequence made the whole tempo uphill - what a treat. The plan was 4 mile tempo at marathon pace effort. It was hard to keep pace, partially probably because of the temperatures, partly because of the headwind for 3.3 of the miles. 1 - 6:51, hmmm, MacK with me for .7, Travis stays with
2 - 6:29, better, bottom lip freezing 3 - 6:32, headwind stregthening, but not as bad as sometimes 4 - 6:36, includes worst uphill section at the end. Travis was with me the whole time and pushed pace. I tried to keep it at marathon effort, which gave me poor splits, but did I mention it was 9F? We turned around and picked up MacK, who wasn't far behind.
I tried some Cytomax during the run, which is the drink the marathon provides. It tasted like Crystal Light, and had only 1/2 the calories of Gatorade. My stomach accepted it just fine. Finished 13 miles in a whiny mood (sorry MacK and Travis) because my fingers were really freezing). I could hardly untie my shoe to get my car key when I was done. I kept having to pick at the double knot with my frozen stubs. Finally success and I am the car. Endurox, then I took a way long hot shower and now am in sweats with a hoody. weight 122
