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. |

| My training schedule is still a work in process--I am sure it will be a masterpiece. So I chose to do 20 x 1 min on/off, and it turns out maybe I should have forced myself into something harder. It was 29C, 80% ish humidity, but it felt way nicer than last Thursday, because it was partly overcast, and it sprinkled on reps 13-15 and during part of the cool down. It was merciful. If every hard day was like today I think I could survive summer just fine. I averaged 3:28 for the fast parts, 5.73k of fast stuff. I didn't need extra rest time between and I didn't fade either, so all in all it was successful. I did feel a bit delirious toward the end, perhaps I should have bought a sports drink. Spent way too much time on my feet today in sandals doing errands, but I am proud of all I accomplished :D | |

Ran 16.1k at 4:39ave pace. I picked it up significantly when it changed from light sprinkle to hard rain. It was so nice, though I was quite water logged. I realized at the end of the run that one hand had turned prunish from excess moisture. Weird. Core workout in pm.

AM: 5.81k at 5:11/k pace PM: 6k warm up, then was going for 4 x 2000m @ 10k pace. Normal heat/humidity. First 2k was 7:20, one lap rest (3:15), 2nd 2k was 7:18 (5:11 rest, not sure why longer), one the third rep I started to slow on the second lap, and when I came in at 3:04 at the 800m I stopped, that would not have been worth continuing. So I decide to try to do 3 more 1k reps. The heat was getting to me. (3:47 rest). 1k - 3:41, I was doing just fine then that nasty right side cramp came with a vengeance in the last lap, that last lap was me crying through it. So I took a long rest (6:19) to try to get rid of it. 1k - 3:42, The cramp came with 500m to go (earlier than last rep) but not so forcefully and I tried to work through it, breathing, relaxing, perhaps this will be my track workout norm in the heat and I need to deal with it (5:23 rest) 1k - 3:35, The cramp came with 600m to go but I tried to stay relaxed and ignore it and post at least one good 1k and that was it. So this was rather a pathetic track workout overall, but I didn't give up and it is worth the battle, right?
