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.

AM: 5:45 met Roberto, an Italian expat who has graciously introduced me to running in Sha Tin, and has let me know some of the ins and outs of running in HK. ran 14.2 miles in 7:36 ave pace overall, so company does help, as does the bike trail we were on, less (but not no) car dodging. There is a trail 20k long, so theres my solution to tempo and long run course issues. Was supposed to run 14-16 miles with last 2 fast, but I did one fast mile 6:32, started into the last mile at the same pace, but after .06 I lost my will and thought I'd jog it in. I lost my gu along the trail. But did get lots to drink. See my weight though. I lost several pounds of water and was near delirious when i got hom. PM: 4.22 miles in 8:13 ave pace. Do I need to write up that I sweat like a pig for every run or do you get the point?

I can't believe your HK! Sounds fun and adventurous! Stay safe and who is Roberto?

Glad you have found out the secrets. I gather you are dealing with heat and high humidity?
