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.

62 min elliptical in the morning. 30 min at level 4, then did my first hardish workout on the ellip: 5,5,7,7,4,4,6,6,8,8,3,3,5,5,7,7,4,4,6,6,8,4,5, then back to 4's for the rest.

3 miles walking at night. Was going to do 4 but for some reason the bottom of my feet were rubbing wrong in my shoe and felt raw. Switched to ellip for 15:10 min to make it an even 60 min of exercise in evening.

Also walked the university mall with Marion today, and the Provo Towne Center mall with Paul. Very disgusted by the McNaughton "art" displayed in both malls, depicting President Obama stepping on the constitution. Since when has trash like that been framed and put in family rooms?

I agree with your post about the McNaghton Fine Art. I was bothered by it but didn't know really why I was bothered by it. It's not something I would hang in any room of my house...maybe they were just making a statement. Whats the future plan? How's your body healing?

Body feels great. I will run this weekend (but will be in Vegas). I will be running next week, but don't have my plan from coach yet. Very excited. Just feel some tenderness around the belly button, but it doesn't seem to be exacerbated by crosstraining.

I can't believe how much of this stuff (bashing a sitting president of the US) is happening. You can bet your sweet dollar that anyone doing this during the last administration would be called a traitor (or worse). Actually there was an article in PRAVDA of things calling out Palin for badmouthing a sitting president ... that is sinking pretty low when a Russian reporter has to point that out.

But anyway, I digress, I am SO happy for you!! Next week will be awesome (ok it won't feel awesome at first but then it will be awesome). Good web entry here that describes the feeling best: http://blog.ianandjulia.com/?p=949

Enjoy!!
