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: walked 2 miles on treadmill, then stretching, then workout on elliptical, some crazy endurance program for 30 minutes, I was sweating so bad by the end of that, then I went manual and did level 4, jumping to 6 then 7 for one minute each three times. I didn't feel too strong, ok I guess I felt pretty out of shape, but I didn't give up, and the workout's money in the bank. (I have 15 cents in my bank now :) ).

Last time I did a hard workout on the elliptical I had pain in my right groin toward the beginning that subsided after a minute or two, and today had the same thing. My right lower calf tendons still achy, but didn't hurt acutely during exercise.

PT this afternoon and hopefully running 2 miles, though i don't look forward to doing them on the treadmill :(

I know those treadmill/stationary bike work outs can really turn on the water faucet. It makes you feel like a hero for all that drippy sweating. It's good for you! Yay for .15 cents! During the winter I use my treadmill/stationary bike and watch episode after episode of Alias/Arrested Development/30 Rock. It makes those kinds of work outs easier. I hope your muscles/tendons behave. But you might want to save your PT appointment until AFTER you've wrestled the pig....You guys still doing that?

NICE sweating $$$ in the back workout! Can't wait to see the pig wrestling video! :)
