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.

Does sleep during FHE count as a nap?

Biked 6.61 in 28:41, then stretched, and ran with McK for 5.31. Legs felt pretty good. The plan was to bike first to warm the legs up and hopefully have a better run than Saturday.

Hit the back of my right calf pretty hard while biking, and my whole right side is my problem side right now, but thankfully it was in the first half of the bike ride.

I felt like I couldn't run fast, like my legs didn't want to transition to running, but no serious soreness like Saturday. Right side felt somewhat tight, though, from upper hamstring down, no real SI soreness or pain. Wore harness for the first mile.

Ave pace for run 8:25

The nap counts but then you have to have FHE again, as penance ;) It's good to see you moving more. Hopefully this down time will be all done by the end of tax season ;)

Oh- btw, on a scale of 1-10, please put Painters, Hobble Creek, Ogden and Riverton, actually any 1/2's you have run. I need some idea of what to gear up for ;) (I am posting this same question on many other runners blogs too) It's an unofficial survey ;)

I am glad you are starting to feel better! Only 1 more month left of your busy time-yeah!
