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. |

| Still sore from the marathon, but not too sore to run easy. Stopped and did longer stretch session after one mile warm up. Ran with Clay for about a mile in the middle. Stretched at home after run. My quads are the sorest, but did ok on the run. Ave 8:40 pace. |

The dang noisy birds woke me up at 5:10 even though my alarm wasn't supposed to go off until 5:50!
This morning's soreness is more like normal soreness with some fatigue mixed in. I just want to keep my miles easy this week. Ran with JH in Salem, ave pace 8:12 weight 126 Went in and had groin issue worked on. Dr. Brady and his assistant did some stretches that required them both holding one leg and pulling it toward my shoulder. Got a herbal patch on it, not sure if that does any good but I had to keep it on for 72 hrs.

| Went to bed late. Woke up and ran with MacK. Not sure if I was more fatigued from not getting enough sleep, ramping up miles too quickly after the marathon, or just yucky from two potty breaks during the run. Have had tummy trouble since the marathon. The good side of it is that I weighed 124 this morning, a next post tax season low. I guess getting cleaned out has some benefits. I took endurox when I got home to help recovery. Ave pace 8:32

Met MacK and Josse in SF for a nice cold rain run. My legs felt heavy toward the end, probably partially residual fatigue from the marathon, and partially my pants were soaking wet and actually heavy. I am glad I had them to run with. Good conversation as always. I appreciate their friendship! We have potentially two more days of rainy running weather before some dry runs next week. Ave pace 8:21 Evening stretch & abs |

Ran easy 7.1 with JH. I have been feeling tired so I cut back the miles slightly today. I want to make sure I recover adequately from the marathon. I have also been trying to decide when to do by first speed workout (tempo), and I think I will wait until next Saturday when Josse and I go up and down Provo Canyon, so that I get more recovery in. I am not sure if I am not getting enough sleep, coming down with a cold, am worn down from stress (having high stress right now!), or just still recovering from the marathon but I am just feeling kind of blah. Ave pace 8:20 Jogged 1 mile easy with Benji in the park in the afternoon. 12:24

Woke up naturally this morning 10 minutes before the alarm. It was a lovely day. Ran with the SF group, mostly with MacK, Hal, Chad and Doug. Kelly G. ran with us from mile 10-12. I'm so glad it didn't rain on us. Chad was feisty as always and helped us keep our pace faster, my fastest run of the week. 12.14 miles 8:03 ave pace
