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.

5.06 miles on the TM this morning, mostly at 7.7 pace. felt good

PM: went to the track with no idea of the workout.  Turns out coach was not there but left the workout, 1, 2,3,4,5,4,3,2,1,2,3,4,5,4,3,2,1 tempo fartleks (30 sec rest between).  I wanted to do 3:45 pace, but it was more realistic to do 3:50 pace since that is target hm pace and it was windy and there is next to no rest.  I wanted to do this on the road, but it was windy, rainy and dark and Ali wanted to do them on the track and had a pacer so I conceded to doing them on the track.  They are much easier to keep pace on the track.  I do not have every split (my gps measures things long on the track and has me at 3:20-3:30 pace on almost all of these) but I kept the pace at 87-90 per lap, probably averaging 89, or 3:42-3:43 pace.  30 seconds is not long enough for a potty break, esp since you could finish anywhere on the track, so I eventually had to bow out of the 3rd 4 minute bit after 3 minutes, did my business as quickly as possible, and jumped into the last 4 minutes of their 5 minutes, then I did my 5, 4,3,2,1.  So instead of it being a 49 min workout it ended up being a 52 minute workout (of hard minutes). Long workout.  Did 6k cool down
