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.

Zero pain again, I could get used to this :D 

Slept in, ahhh!  But first of all, last night we went on a date and went to Arby's and spent $6.22 on dinner, 5 for $5 and then Paul got a soda.  Sweet!

Anyway, met Marion at 7am, after I walked one mile.  Then we did a 4.22 loop with me walking and her mostly running, then we stopped at her place, we witnessed her kids having lollipops for breakfast, I changed shoes, had about 8 oz of old gatorade (which I brought) and Marion had a peach, stretching, then back out for that loop again, and I started running at the Payson Onion Days 5k start, so I could see splits: 8:48, 8:29, 8:31, 25:48 total, ave pace 8:36.  A great way to start the day, despite Marion giving me the business about how I should delay going on Embrel (which I will, unless I get cronic running pain above a reasonable threshold) and about weighing myself before my workouts so that I don't delay fueling.  I gave her the business about her Mi Ranchito habit, so it's all good :)  Love ya Marion! 

For those of y'all who can't get enough of the pig wrestling, Marion told me there was a story and video on the daily herald website.  Well I found it and here it is http://www.heraldextra.com/news/local/south/payson/article_d8240146-dc39-5e97-bbf1-36ea21941be7.html

Hey baby! I loved today :) It was just what I needed to get my day going GREAT! Hey- and lolly-pops are the breakfast of CHAMPIONS!!! ;) We just finished making pina colada ones ;) They are sort of a chartreuse-puce color. The light lime green I was going for went badly ;) they taste good :) You know you want a puce lip sucker!

Teena - thanks! Marion actually doesn't like Arby's--wierd, eh?

Bonnie!! How are you? Your head spinning off yet from work? I hope your class is going better now that you're likely settling into the semester.
