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: Got a bit lost on my morning run. 4.84 in 39:40.

Midday: core workout. 

PM: Met Alison at the HKSI (Hong Kong Sports Institute).  We did our warm up together, then she did a 30 min tempo on the track, and I went out to the bike trail and did 1 mile 10k pace, 1 mile rest, 1 mile 10k pace.  Fast miles were 5:52 and 5:50 with 8:39 in between. So hot I was soaked by the time the evening was through.  Talked with the track coach, Paul Wright before my workout and he cooled down with us, so that was fun.  It would be great to have a coach be in close contact with you.  He is LDS if you missed my prior post about him, and in my congregation.  Cool.  11 miles in the PM.  Had chocolate Vitasoy drink from a vending machine at the track for some immediate refueling.  It actually tasted really good.

Michelle I got this email in my spam folder this morning. I figure since you are already in Hong Kong, you can just pick up the $84 million... we'll split it 3 ways b/w you, me, and rest will go to the Fast Run Blog :-)

.........................

I`m presently an account officer at a top commercial bank in HongKong. I want to transfer and invest over $84million and I need a trustworthy partner to pull this off successfully. Its 100% risk free and i`ll handle all pre-transfer expenses to get the funds into your account. If you are interested send your name, address and phone number so I can provide further details.

Vitasoy?!? kind of sounds YUCKY but then again so does my Kefir! haha

Glad to see you have a FAST running partner but I really missed you this week as Holly was in SF and I had no one to chase on my 800's. :)
