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.

Easy somewhat long run this morning in SF with SF group. Kim made a surprise breakfast for Tom so that was fun. Paul's male buddies Paul T, Terry and Kerry drove down to run and be part of the festivities. It was great to run with them and be able to talk with them. The only problem was we had to get there before he did so I didn't quite get the 65 miles I was hoping ot get this week :( Close but no cigar! I will work hard to get it next week because of potential Turkey Day damage.

I don't have ave pace because I forgot to turn off my watch. Probably ave 8:10.

Michelle, you beat Tom with your miles this week. It's great to have someone KEEPING YOU ON YOUR TOES! How appropriate with your race coming up. By the way, I must see the picture you took of Tom in his tutu...nice job!

Yeah I was supposed to be Forrest Gump, but I forgot to get a beard :(

From MichelleL on Sat, Nov 17, 2007 at 17:52:16

Yeah, I did! Sorry! Too many Paul's in my life when you drag Paul T in! - OK, will proofread next time :)

From Kim on Sat, Nov 17, 2007 at 18:21:41

Michelle,

Thanks for helping out with the breakfast! And thanks for Tom's tutu. We might have to post that picture on here!

From MichelleL on Sat, Nov 17, 2007 at 18:22:35

PLEASE DO!

From Jamie on Sat, Nov 17, 2007 at 20:11:29

Michelle, sorry I mentioned the miles. Perhaps you would have had him if I had refrained from making a comment. There is always next week.

From Kim on Sat, Nov 17, 2007 at 22:16:14

Tom had already promised me that he would run 4 with me today. He didn't throw them in just to try to beat Michelle.

From Kim on Sat, Nov 17, 2007 at 23:55:05

Check out Tom's new picture on his blog!

From MichelleL on Sun, Nov 18, 2007 at 00:27:18

His picture looks the same to me.
