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.

AM: Met Roberto. Converted my 2x2 mile workout to 2 x 3k workout, to get with the metric program. so 2 x 3k at 10k pace. Roberto said that was 3:45 when I said I wanted to go 6:05-6:10, but I realized partway through the workout that 3:45 is 6:00 pace. Anyway, warmed up 4.62 in about 7:36 ave pace. first 3k was 11:11, or 3:44 ave pace. Rest between was 1.5k, but also potty break. second 3k was 11:09, or 3:43 ave. It felt hard but not killer. Rushed home to get my son to his assessment for West Island School. This school is so freaking awesome. It is a big campus, like a community college. It has four wings and is 11 stories tall. More important than its way cool building is the educational opportunities he'll get here. He gets a laptop the first day, and the first week the kids do an intensive computer project, so that they all get used to their new computers. He will be learning Putunghua (Mandarin) and Spanish. Anyway, I am very excited for him.

PM: got my university gym card, so hit the treadmill. 5 miles at 8mm pace. Felt dizzy and sick in the first half, then got a drink of water and perked up in the second half. Have done part of my core workout and will do the rest tonight.

Not sure what sounds more gross. The humidity or the metric system:)
