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 MacK and Tyler. Mack was only able to run the warm up then headed back. Warmed up about 3.5 then started 40 min steady state tempo (6:21-6:34 pace). Mile 1 6:25 (gradual uphill, abt 1% grade), Mile 2 6:23 (downhill and flat), Mile 3 6:18 (slight downhill, Mile 4 6:19, Mile 5 6:21, rolling uphill, 6:24, downhill then uphill, .31 in 1:54 (6:08 pace). 6.31 miles in 40:04, or 6:21 ave pace. Nice to do more than a 10k in 40 minutes. The pace was mostly comfortable, I could get out 1/2 a sentence at a time, though we weren't too chatty, that is until mile 5 and we started going uphill and I just kept quiet. With .75 to go I got a peak at a beautiful sunrise and almost said how pretty it was, but decided to save my breath for the running. It was so nice to have Tyler there. He wore his red running shoes which must be magical, because he always seems to be a couple of steps ahead of me and breathing easy. As the tempos get longer, it is so nice to have company to push me. It goes by faster and is less painful. At home did my 6 way lunges, stretching, and 16 min ice bath (50F).
