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.

AM: Ran warm up with Mack, then started 3 mile marathon goal pace tempo.  It was going to be a longer tempo, but I was doing a clear liquids fast in prep for my wed colonoscopy.

PM: 5 miles easy.  Felt fine the first half, but then turned around into the wind and sometimes sleet and my energy had dropped so I was scraping the pavement.  Sugar spikes all day since it was either sugary clear drinks, sugar free clear drinks or broth all day.

Skipped my core workout.

Colonoscopy at 9:30.  It went fine.  Burger, fries and a shake afterward.

Ran outside for 8.62, then 1.11 on the TM starting at 4:30 in the afternoon (7:42 pace).  Not a prolonged recovery from the procedure, and all was clear in the colonoscopy.  MRI on Saturday.

Ran 13.6 with Mack in the morning.  Then a decadent lunch with Marion and Luz.  Then taking Mickie to the doc because it appears my 9 year old had croup (strange since it's mostly a baby/toddler sickness). Then prep for the blue and gold banquet, then the banquet, then the clean up.  Got home at 8:20 and still hadn't done my afternoon run or my core workout.  Did 5 miles on the TM at a good clip, then got the kids to bed, then did core workout.  Harsh day with the exception of friends, sees candy and baked brie.

Had MRI appt in Provo at 6:45 I had to fast for.  So when got done with that, ate a granola bar and a really yummy honey waffle thing, then met Josse, Ericka and Melody at an Orem 5k.  Thankfully it started late so I was able to do a little warm up before pacing Josse through the race.  She was aiming for 7-7:15, but wasn't quite sure what she could do.  My mile splits per gps were 6:58, 6:51, 6:58, and 6:42 for .17 (course was long in the first mile).  She did so great, had to work hard for the third mile, and was so strong to stay under 7 the whole way.  Melody acted like she never had a baby, cruising in perhaps 20 sec before Josse.  I did a cool down with them, so ran almost 9 miles with friends then had 15 miles on my own.  Ran up the canyon.  Had to pass the drinking fountain at about mile 13, and didn't get more water until mile 20, so that was less than ideal.  When I was on my own the slowest mile (and it was going uphill) was 7:33.  Ave pace for whole run was 7:32.  After the run went straight to a skin cancer screening and had no issues.  Core workout in the PM.
