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.

Ran in Payson into the wind, then with the wind to my back.  Planned on 10 miles but my left knee was niggling so I turned around early.

Met MaryAnn's group in the afternoon.  SI joint felt hurty for a couple of foot strikes, then back to normal.  My SI had some nice pain just for a couple of foot strikes during my Sunday walk.

Met Travis at Marion's house.  It was her first time on the bike in a while, so it was challenging for her, but it was way challenging for me too.  Travis was stronger than me, but I hope it was worthwhile for him to come out. 6:27 ave pace for 6 miles, 10.4 miles total.  SI niggly at the beginning of my warm up.  Otherwise fine.

Was supposed to do 14-16 with the last 2-4 at goal hm pace.  So I thought I would run MaryAnn's 10 mile race, with running 4 before the race.  Take the first half of the race easy, then run the last 4 hard. There was only one guy who was going to run the 10 mile race, turns out, but he was going to go my pace the whole time, and the race was going to start late (no sign of MaryAnn) so I started on my own, 5 miles up the canyon then back down was the plan.  The river trail was covered in snow starting at about 3.2 miles, I ran in the snow for about .2, then decided that I would damage something if I continued, so I turned around, bagging the "race".  So the fast guy catches up to me and turns around too, so I start running my fast miles with him.  I stick with him for about 1.4, then he continues strong while I do what I can.  The first 1.4 were 6:10 pace, the 2.6 on my own were about 6:20 pace.  DOWNHILL.  Saturday and Thursday just felt like I was running out of shape.  I feel heavy and unable.  I hope that feeling doesn't stick around.  Pain in my knee afterward, worst it has felt.  Iced it.  Feels fine today (Sunday).  Four days until tax season is over :)  This is my best training in tax season ever.  I am supposed to do 1 mile repeats on Thursday, though.  on 4/15.  Funny!
