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.

I didn't hear my alarm and missed my running buddies!!!!! I am so sorry, this hardly ever happens, but it stinks to be stood up when it does. I woke up when we were supposed to meet, rushed down the mountain as much as I could, though there was a nice new layer of snow on the roads so it was kind of treacherous. Neither MacK nor Jamie's car was there, so I am not sure if they showed up and then left because noone else showed, or if they didn't make it out either. I ran on my own to Payson and back, really slowly because of the snow and ice. I watched one car do a fun little slide in the middle of my run. I was going as fast as the car, and figured if he got stuck I would catch up and be able to help push him out. But he made it ok.

I have lots of stuff going on today. Wish me luck because I'll need it.

Good luck with all your stuff today! It seems like a weekend with lots of things going on. I as well have a very busy day too!

I like the picture because it looks like you are spent. No one should look as good as I do at the end of a marathon. I am going to start working my my pain face so I can get good finish line shots like that one.

What are your in-laws names?

From Jamie on Fri, Dec 14, 2007 at 18:04:42

You must not have heard my voice message letting you know that I wouldn't be meeting you this morning. Sorry!

I am planning on going up to Provo tomorrow for my run but probably won't meet up with the Sojourners'. Let me know if you'd like to join me. I was thinking about starting at 6am and maybe doing something longer...

By the way, how would I use your Painter's Half entry if I decided I wanted to? (You did offer it, if I remember right...let me know if I'm mistaken!)

Hope your day went well and your night goes even better!

Thanks all for your comments!

James - yeah the picture isn't pretty but I loved how it showed the 3:00 on it and that is really how we should look when we cross the line, right? My in-laws are Marshall and Ilene Hendrick. Ilene is the sister of Evelyn and Bob Tingey who also live in Perry. My in-laws have a home at the top of a neighborhood right across from Maddox, so I go uphill and hit that canal trail quite a bit when I am up there, though last time it was really windy as I went toward Sardine canyon so I wussed out on going that direction.

Jamie-I got your voicemail yesterday in the middle of the day. I guess I forgot to check it. I am glad I didn't let you down. I actually had my mp3 player since Paul is back in town so the run was ok (except for the ice!).

How are your in-laws Hendrick and your husband Lowry?
