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.

Ran same as yesterday out and back on highway 9. Morning temp was 29F so my feet defrosted at 4 miles instead of 5. I felt much more spry than yesterday, and did the uphill at about 8:30 ave pace, and then the down hill was right around 7 min pace with my last mile 6:36, so I'll count that last one as a marathon pace mile. I have been doing my stretch regimen about 4 times a day.

No hiking today since we went to St. George. I did do a frisbee tournament with my eight year old and ran with my six year old at the park where the St. George Marathon ended. I also got three pairs of shoes at St. George Running Center and got to chat with Steve Hooper. One of the shoes is a sweet pair of red racing flats with black laces and some silver trim. It matches our racing clothes but I am afraid these are bright shoes and I need to race fast in them because these shoes say, "Look at me!"

I also ran into Wildbull and ignored his first attempt to talk to me. I guess he recognized me but I didn't recognize him. Finally I understood he was a blogger and we chatted for a little, but hubby was burning me with some laser beams (he had been in the car with the kids as I tried on various shoes, for good reason not as excited as I am to be at a running store with blogging buddies). Sorry I couldn't have chatted more!

Sounds like you had a fun trip, well needed after a grueling tax season!
