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.

Big snowstorm. My computer fried with the power outages, but it's back up again! Thankfully we had the option of running in the afternoon.

I met Tyler at 4pm. Did 3.37 mile warm up in 7:51 pace. Then did 20 x 25 sec on/off. I fluctuated between feeling great and feeling foul because of stomach issues. Went to the bathroom 2 times in the intervals and 2 times afterward. I tell you, Christmas treats and training do not go well together. Fast parts were in 5:19, pretty much crazy fast, and that includes one that was slow because we hit a slushy corner we were supposed to turn right when a garbage truck was coming at us. Tyler drug me through this workout, like has been typical since my marathon. We also did the slow parts faster than I would have on my own, some were sub 8:00 pace. I did feel good for the last 5 intervals. Tyler had about a 7 min cool down, but I did 2.25 in 20 min, so I got my slow miles in after all :D

Core workout in evening. Still doing Stage 3, Level 1 of McMillan's dvd's, and my incision point doesn't hurt anymore, and that area is just slightly tender.
