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.

med-long run with Mack and Holly for an hour, then more on my own.7:56 ave pace.  Core workout.  Very tired today, and it was Ben's bday, so lots of cooking and had to make an extra effort to be NICE all day.  I was so exhausted by the time I went to bed.

9 hours of sleep before this workout. AM: 6-8x1,000m cruise intervals (200m rest) and then 3x200m.  3.5 mile warm up, stretching and strides.  goal pace was 3:43-3:47, starting slower so that I didn't wear out.  I wanted to do 8 but I have been so tired, and down emotionally, so I wasn't sure how I would feel.  But this workout was my best executed workout of the season so far, so that feels great.  3:46 (1:30 rest), 3:46 (1:30 rest), 3:45 (1:29 rest), 3:45 (1:44 rest, Mack joined here), 3:43 (the Mack bump, 1:44 rest), 3:43 (1:36 rest), 3:45 (1:38 rest), 3:42, (2:48 rest), 35 (1:37 rest), 35 (1:39 rest), 36.1, 1.92 mile cool down on my new orthotics.  Would have liked to do more cool down but this was a long workout and I had to get home for my 1.5 hour massage.  Calves were like bricks.  Lots of tension in my neck and shoulders.  

PM: 40 min on TM, 4.86 miles

5.17 in 40 min, 7:44 ave pace.  PT appt, worked on my left outside calf (muscle that goes up and down), left knee and right ham.  

3 games of laser tag with the boys at night.  Lots of screaming and heart-pounding, that has to count for some cross training, eh?

20.15 in 7:44 ave pace with some ladies in Salem/SF.  At times felt really good, at times just slogged along.  I have had a hard time sleeping without Paul home, so glad he is home now. Right knee and inside left ankle a tad niggly by the end. 

Core workout in PM.
