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.

What are you wearing to race on Sat?

the marathon start is all ways freezing so bring clothes because you are waiting for a while. they have fires but they are usually pretty crowded. they give you bags to put clothes in that you can pick up at the finish. I usually start in a long sleeve that I can through off to the side as well as gloves. It is usuallly cold until around veyo.

Though I am a novice, I run with alot of experienced marathoners, and from their collective input, this is my plan. My main race garb will be racing shorts with pockets over the bum for my shot blocs and a tank top. I will warm up with a long sleave, gloves, and pants. And I have a friend who brings long sleeve surgical gowns (she's an anesthetist - is that spelled right?) which we then wear for the first mile of the race (or however long it takes to warm up), then rip off and leave on the road. Pretty geeky, but it will be dark at the start. I don't have enough long-sleeve shirts, so I can't throw one away along the course, so it seems like a good idea to me. Do you want me to get you one too? I thought about going at 4:30 for the early drawing, but I am going to get the extra 1/2 hour sleep and arrive around 5am for the buses because of the potential--the thought of standing or sitting out in the cold isn't too appealing.

One of my friends last year went to a thrift store and bought a cotton long sleeve shirt and made a little cut on the front of the neck so she could just tear it off. Then she didn't have to take anything over her head. She liked it.
