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.

Slept in! 9.5 hours of sleep baby!

After getting the kids on the buss, I walked about 5 miles with Marion, then ran 2 miles, the first mile had the uphill portion of Payson Onion Days (I ran the 5th and 6th miles of the 10k). The pace was something under 9 min pace. Then walked about 2 miles. 1:56 for 10 miles total.

Red Mango Rendezvous with Marion. I give Marion's new dress a thumbs up and Red Mango's yogurt a thumbs down for lack of chocoliciousness and high prices.

PM: at Ben's FB game, walked a mile, did stretching and planks.

AB workout in PM--current ab workout is 4x2min planks if on ground, about 1.25 min each if on the ball (harder to stabilize), 3x50 crunches on the ball (started at 10 at a time, which just about killed me), 3x1 min planks on each side on the green ball. Bridge.

also a 1 mile walk with Paul in the PM

Are you sure the thumbs down was not due to the adverse affects of the yogurt?? ;D Thank you about the dress. I like it too. I feel like a girly girl :)

GUESS WHAT I weighed today????? I am SO excited I could PASS OUT!!! (and I might, I am a little light headed today) I think all the little live animals in the yogurt are working in my favor! I may be hooked ;D
