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.

40 min elliptical in the AM

Wanted to run 12k between Ben's events at a track meet in the afternoon, but they ended up being a bit closer together.  This is my first run after the marathon, I checked out my watch after running about a k and it seemed screwy, 7 something pace, then 8 something pace, and the distance wasn't right, etc.  It took me about 2k to realize my watch was still set to miles/min and miles distance because of the marathon in the US.  So then it all started to make more sense :D  I tried to run faster to get in 6 miles by the time Ben did his second event.  Unfortunately only got 9.32k (watch is now reset to k's) at 4:45/k ave.  And I still missed his last event.  So sad.  But I went to his track meet the next morning (an hour travel each way to watch him do a 200m sprint).

Woke up early so stayed up and caught the 5:30 to Tai Wai, started out slow since I basically rolled out of bed and ran to the MTR, so first k was 5:40, then dipped below 5:00 after 3k and fully awake.  Cooler today, 22.5C, 91% humidity

Today was Ben's big "JUNK" party, which means we rented a junk boat for 8 hours, and hung out with Ben's friends and some family friends while visiting a couple of beaches on close-by islands.  So I woke up early and ran close to home. Swam with the boys a bit (it was a cold day so didn't spend as much time in the water as we planned).  The party was a success and I am so glad it is over :D
