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.

I slept in. Then spent 7 hours taking care of renewing our visas.

Met Ali and Coach Paul and the other athletes at HKSI. I had informed him beforehand of my illness. My workout was already not that hard (200, 400, 600, 800, 1000,800,600,400,200) so we just backed off the goal splits a bit. Lots of rest because of heat/humidity and the nature of the workout.

4.74 warm up at 5:01/k. Splits were 40 (2:10), 83, (2:25), 2:03 (2:11), 2:43 (3:23), 3:25 (4:20), 2:44 (4:05), 1:58 (3:13), 77 (3:39), 35

5.34k cool down

I felt not so strong, but was glad to be able to show up, support Ali, interact with coach, and get in some decent speed.

Sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Shingles are horrible. Great job getting out and getting in a workout in.
