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 the McMillan team at Alicia Shay's/Paige's house, and we went on an easy run.  I quickly split off with Stephanie and Alicia, we ran about 6 together, then I finished my run alone.  I didn't realize the Alicia I was running with was Alicia Shay, which was a good thing, because I got to know here without getting her famous mystic added into the mix.  I guess she recently went on a business trip to Logan, and said she met many runners there, so perhaps a couple of you bloggers?  She was very nice.  

The trails in Flagstaff are absolutely amazing.  If I had trails like these at home I would never run on the road.  They are often wide, and gradual in their grade changes, and mostly devoid of ankle buster.  

I am still sucking wind from the altitude.  I will until I return to Utah :)

Went to the Flagstaff Aquaplex.  My babysitter I brought from Utah swam with the kids while I did my core workout, then I joined them in the pool.

How COOL you ran with Shay! Bet she loved your company! :)

Those trails sound lovely!

Is that Ryan Shay's widow?

I thought about going to see her talk, but didn't have time that evening. I also missed Jack Daniels talk here last week. Logan is just a hub from that kind of thing, I guess. ;-)
