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.

Did 30 min elliptical before the kids woke up.  Then 7.93 miles running in 60 min, that makes 7:34 pace.  I then walked about .5 mile.

Will do core this evening.  I told myself if I was good this week (and last weekend) I would see 124.something this week.  Here's to hoping.

 No running today!  Still on reverse taper after 1/2, a lull in training before starting the marathon training.  I am very excited to start running more normal miles next week.  It will be a 55+ mile week.  Sweet.  

Did core workout while the kids got ready for school (keeping them on task between reps, etc, don't talk to mommy in the middle of the Metronome, she's not in a good mood when doing this one)

Then 60 min on the elliptical

Did not eat so well yesterday :(  Had a yummy lunch with friends at a restaurant and meat fest with tort at Marions.  I actually smuggled in the 450 cal, small slice of cake into Ironman, for my movie treat.  that made it extra delicious).  I will do better today.

Slept in until I woke up a second time: 7:39, the marathon I wasn't running nor spectating at was already underway.  I did 61 minutes elliptical, then stretching, then about 45 minutes running (may have been 46).  I turned off my watch accidentally during part of the run.

Core workout in the afternoon.  

Congrats to all who completed and rocked the Ogden Marathon.
