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 up with the SF group, but did some miles early with Tom. Today is the run before the crack of dawn so I can also go grocery shopping before the kids wake up morning. This plan worked well when I was running 7 miles on Tuesday, but now that I am trying to get ten in a day the early morning gets even earlier. Amber said she'd join me next week before 5am so that will be good. About 1/2 way through the river bottoms I asked Amber and Tom if they were up for striders, and they agreed to do some. The rest of the SF group bawked at the idea. We were kind of on training wheels, didn't really track seconds or distance (my gps was dead anyway), but I think they were 20-30 seconds each. I didn't even keep a good count of how many we did, but I think it was 4-5. We focused on form, and I guess that worked ok. I don't think I know what perfect running form is, but I tried to focus on efficiency and effectiveness of my movement. Hmmm.

Like I said, no gps watch so I had to guess the distance.

Ab workout.

Asics.

If your just guessing the distance I would up it just a little and you will pass Tom on the milage board ;)

You are right! I know he ran more than me though, that's the rub. Should I add a mile on after I do my ab workout?!?

I would if you have the time. he he he
