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.

Woke up to it SNOWING! and it was sticking on the ground. I laughed hysterically and showed Paul. I guess our all day hike to celebrate our 14th anniversary will have to wait.

I walked .5 miles, took out the Enbrel out of the fridge, did stretching and got ready, then shot myself in the stomach. Met Aub and Beth after about 1.5 miles. We ran about 8 together before I got antsy and went ahead a bit. My pace with them was 7:55, I am guessing it dropped a bit after that. Felt really good until about mile 14-15, when I started to feel like I needed a gu, but I was too close to the end of the run to take one.

So thrilled to weigh 124 flat! I haven't been sub 125 (that I remember) since before my injury. I have been trying to eat very disciplined, eating the right sort of foods, but this week has been more challenging. Since I have upped my miles I am very hungry. Yesterday I ate 3,000 calories, all clean, except for a sample of a peanut butter bar at Maceys.
