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 MacK at 5:30, but wasn't quite awake and forgot that we were expecting Josse then too. After MacK and I ran for about 1 mile, I suddenly remembered, JOSSE!!! We turned around and ran fast to our cars (.5 mile marathon pace) but we were too late. She was parked there but nowhere in sight. We met up with her at 6am (Alli came out too). It was nice to meet up with the SF group, there have been so many weather and circumstantial issues that have crept up week after week for the past month. Carolyn drove up late and I ran with her for a while to catch up a little bit, but then ran to catch up to the fast girls (another .5 marathon tempo). Finished up alone for about 1.5 miles since I had to run the course slow.

We are taking our two older boys skiing to Brighton. Brighton has a great kids ski school. We'll put Benji (almost 8) in morning only and Mickie (first time skiing) in morning and afternoon, and we'll eat lunch as a family and do a little bit of skiing with Mickie after he's done with afternoon school. Wish me luck (here's to hoping for no leg breaks, I promise to not do jumps like I did last year).

No doubt, singing group Gwen Staffani started with about 1987. Was a fun pun to play on Tom, (it took Tom quite a while to get it) have stuck with it for a few comments. Hey, I went to the Brighton ski school forever ago. They do have a good school.

Oh yeah, I remember your reference to No Doubt which I read on your blog a couple of days ago. I totally got the reference then, but I guess I forgot about that pun already. I saw No Doubt play at Disneyland when I went for high school graduation with my whole graduating class (since I had high school in California). I remember dancing to them singing the ABC's, ska style. I don't think Gwen's solo stuff has been as good as the band's work, but that is fairly common.
