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.

Another miserable SF run. I think I may rethink running at all in SF in the winter. The wind chill is much stronger there than neighboring cities.

I met at the Scenic Dr. meeting place but never found anyone so I ran alone and with no music. I did eight strides which were uneventful except I felt weak in the 6th, and 6th and 7th were into the wind.

ave pace 8:28

Herriman's wind is bad too. I can't wait for spring.

Running 10 miles on a miserable day has to toughen you up mentally and physically. Good job!

I hardly have any wind where I live wink wink, I know it is a drive though.

thanks for the invite, josse.

Michelle, I sent you an e-mail, last night, letting you know that I wouldn't be meeting you at 5am. I needed an extra hour of sleep. Sorry that you had to run by yourself in S.F. The wind WAS awful!

From Amberosia on Tue, Dec 18, 2007 at 11:20:02

I must have just barely missed you! I saw your van and I ran around Scenic for a while then met up with Alan and Kaye. I am going to meet you in Salem tomorrow. I agree that the wind was bad this morning, but nothing like yesterday!

I run in Salem every day and I never seem to be fighting any wind, atleast on an average day... I stay mostly on canal road and in to payson, it seems warmer than the riverbottoms too. I do run the riverbottoms on Saturdays when I do my long runs and it is always seems colder to me than when I go the other way...

Just a thought.
