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.

Way cold! (low 30s) Spandex, double long sleeve, running gloves weather. What is the right amount of clothes for walking isn't right for running.

Walked 1 mile, stretched, ran 4.1 (7:59 ave pace, no gps, used course tool to figure out ex post facto), walked back to car. 6.14 miles total.

Later AM: 7.5 miles biking with Marion and her daughter's bike, which I swear has it's back breaks half on, it seemed so much slower then when I borrowed Sasha's bike.

PM: Walked 1.75, then stretching, the ab workout, then my son ben made a choc cake and insisted on full fat, but the recipe called for crisco, so it was kind of good but not as good as a cake with butter in it, but I ate it anyway. I am not dietarily virtuous.

Great running Michelle-- and good call on hauling Marion out of the house into the chilly sunshine. There is almost nothing being outside for an hour can't cure. Keep it up. I sure wish you were doing St. George. That's ok, you'll just have to come and win it next year instead :) In the meantime, I'll try to run it harder this time in your honor.
