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.

AM: Stretching/rolling session, then PT appt (e-stim, magnetic therapy, ultrasound).

PM: 20k on the treadmill.  Ran .75, then stopped and stretched, then ran the rest.  I ran 7.5 pace until half way then gradually increased to 8.0.  No pain!  The right side feels different, but the closest way to describe it is just like there is a piece of tape on the back of my leg.  Lower pain/soreness than Thursday :D !!!!

Core workout, stretching/rolling

Good news! Don't rush things and you might get out of this just fine.

Awesome!! Keeping fingers and toes crossed that the pain free running continues.
