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.

Thought my schedule only said an equivalent minutes to allow me 10 miles, but as I was warming up on the treadmill, I realized 105-120 minutes is more than 10 miles! Sweet.

Walked .75, stretched, met Josse and MacK and we ran 13.15 in 8:17 ave pace. This is my first half in a long long time. My legs feel good.

Need ab workout today. I bought McMillans core dvd this week. His elite athletes claim they do the exact workouts on the dvd, so I am excited to get it and breathe some new life into my ab workouts.

I've been asking you to let me see your P90x core workout for months and you've been holding out. Show me yours and I'll show you mine. . .

"new life into ab workouts"...isn't that an oxymoron?

As for me, I will stick with Wii Fit.
