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:  Woke up at 5am, ran 5.1 miles.  Looked at a map before I went out, still didn't get home on time but did know where I was 90% of the time, got a bit lost finding the metro at the end of my run.  got an email reminding me of a meeting tonight for Mickie that i can't miss, so I had to cancel on two women I was going to meet for my hard workout tonight.  Which meant treadmill workout in the afternoon.  I took a nice nap.  Something magical about naps that are over 60 min.  Mine was 70 and heavenly.

PM: 3.75 mile warm up then 3 miles HM pace, 1 mile 7:30 pace 2 miles 10k pace.  Didn't wan to overshoot paces since my Saturday workout is going to be really hard.  HM paces were 6:11, 6:07, 6:07 on TM with 1% grade.  I was afraid 7:30 pace would be hard, but it felt heavenly after the HM paced miles.  7:30 for .75 then was kicked off the treadmill, had to relocate to the annex. Probably took 3 minutes to get resituated.  The annex is small, just three treadmills, two big and one baby looking one. The two big ones were taken and I was upset because the baby one looked like it might not be able to do sub six miles.  But it performed well, my little treadmill that could. I ramped right up to 10.1, and increased each half mile, so first mile was about 5:55, second mile was about 5:48.  Then 30 min cool down.  Very embarrassing to get so sweaty in front of other people who were not working out that hard.  Oh well.  Got it done.
