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 Travis, MacK and Holly.  Ran 30 min with all four, then dropped off Mack, then another 15 with Holly, then dropped her off.  Then Travis and I went on canal road toward Payson.  It seemed to get colder (run started at 32, ended at 31F), but it was just my gloves weren't quite enough for my hands.  The run today was 60 min easy, then 10 min DUSA progression.  I wanted to start at 6:40-6:30 and drop from there, last 1/4 mile really hard.  At .5 mile into it we were averaging 6:16, then the first mile split was 6:10 (good, this is a progression run).  I plateaued at 6:10 for the next 1/4 mile and had to go to the bathroom so I did a quick squat at .25 miles, letting my watch run, so it was a quick stop by the time I started going again the lap pace was 6:48.  Got it down to 6:14 before the 10 minutes were up.  Because I did a quick pit stop, I was able to push the last 1/4 mile hard, but the ave pace doesn't show it.  The pit stop was lame, but the pace was nice!  Our last fast finish I was just supposed to do 3-6 min, so we did one mile and I did 6:08, and that was giving all I had.  This workout today was much better.  The amazing thing is that I was trailing Travis.  That kid can run.

Great workout! It feels so good when the wheels start coming back. It is very encouraging!
