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.

Plane from Cusco to Lima.

Ran in the evening in Lima, but we got started way late, so did shorter fartlek.

warmed up, then did 12x1 min on/off, supposed to go 10k pace for fast bits.  Did 5:31 ave pace for fast bits, one almost got ruined when I had to stop after almost getting run over, but got 5:50 pace even for that mile.  Was in total darkness on not totally lit and lightly trod streets by the end.  I was going back for Paul on the slow bits but it was so dark he couldn't always see him.  We miscommunicated on the last one and I lost him.

Stayed in Second Home Lima in the Barranco neighborhood (known for its art and discotecas), which was the home and is a virtual museum for the artist http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&q=victor%20delfin%20artist&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&biw=1920&bih=983.  It was so cool, though some of his art was *graphic* for my tastes.
