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.

Just me and my music and lots of sprinkles. It sprinkled the first 4 or so miles, strengthened to a rain in the middle, then lightened back up toward the end. I got slowed in miles 6 and 7 because I got on a dirt road accidentally, which was turned mushy from the rain. Thus I had mud up and down my calves.

I forgot to stretch after warming up, thus when I stretched at the end I was pretty tight. I can feel my groin lightly and felt some tightness in my right quad toward the end of the run.

Good run, take care of that tightness. Running in the mud, sounds kinda fun to me. What is your goal time for stgm this year?

Thanks Mike. It's too early to really know what can be done in St. George. If I stay injury free I am hoping to break 2:45, but my Ogden time predicts a 2:52, so that's probably where I am now. I am hoping I can improve and place top 5 in St. G. Only time will tell.

With a summer behind you I think you will be where you want to be. You have to remember that the predictor is what you would have ran then not at the end of the summer. Michelle is going to ROCK at SG.
