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.

Met Roberto for a 4 x 3000m tempo interval workout, 3:50 goal pace.

We did a nice long warm up 7.91k, then started

1 - 11:30, exactly 3:50 pace, Roberto says like a Swiss watch, 2:00 rest

2 - 11:28, tucking behind Roberto in the headwind, 2:55 rest (potty break)

3 - 11:24, 2:01 rest,

4 - 11:47 for 3.12K, we missed the mark on the road and went long, but were 3:47 pace despite looking around for it and construction interference, so equivalent to 11:21

#3 and #4 were harder, this is very much a workout that catches up to you over time. I want to increase the length of workouts as I prepare for my 26k race in April.

23.84k overall, core workout in the PM

Poor Mickie got a black eye when we were playing soccer and JJ accidentally kicked him in the eye. Boys!

Nice workout. Way to negative split it. 11-12 minute efforts take some mental focus.
