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.

Warmed up 2.15 in 17:28, then did 10 x 25 sec strides/ 1 min rest. fast bits were 5:12 ave pace. Then cooled down 1.36 @ 7:33 pace

After run went to the post office to pick up a box. Ended up being from St. G running center! It was like xmas! Marathon racing shoes (new Saucony ST racers), some black shorts like the elites wear (short tight shorts with a center pocket on the back) and gu.  We were leaving for San Diego today so I was so glad to get the box.  I wore the racers during the drive and all night at Las Vegas (where we were stopping over) so they got about 4 miles of walking on them.  Will do my workout in them tomorrow.

In Las Vegas.  Felt faster and fitter just by slipping on the shorts Steve sent me!  Had researched what track to go to, since I had a track workout:  4-5x 1000m cruise intervals,  rest between. Since I am closer to sea level, wanted 3:30-3:35, the splits for a 2:46 marathoner for this workout.  Decided to do 4 since close to marathon.  I think my coach is having me taper a bit less since I am still improving this time around.  Anyway.  Warmed up 2.12 which included getting to the track and scoping out the marks on the track so I'd know where to start and stop.  Windy so did the 1000m where the wind would be at my back for 3 out of 5 straight aways.  Times were 3:34 (1:30 rest), 3:35 (1:30 rest), 3:33 (1:33), 3:33, then 1.75 cool down.  Will go swimming this morning with the kids before hitting the road and heading for San Diego.
