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.

Laid in bed listening to the birds chirping until my alarm went off at 6:05am. Pure luxury to sleep in that long. It is so nice to have a cool start to June. It will make me less resentful when the hot temperatures come.

I met MacK and JH in Salem and we did a Payson loop together. They were spry and kept pulling out fast splits, I would hang behind, trying to put the breaks on the group a little because I want my easy day to be easy. In the end it was kind of easy. I ran with them for 7.5, then slowed it down on my own to finish almost 10.5. Toward the end of my run and after I have some tenderness on the outside of my heel bone, and one foot is also achy on the top inside. I am icing it right now. Perhaps the achiness I tend to feel when I am around 70 miles pw has begun.

I will probably do the 10 mile on the 14th. I am going to run a 15 mile trail run this weekend for my long run, and since the long term goal is the marathon, the longer races are the way to go.

I agree that downhill running is rough on the legs. After Sat was the first time my knees and shins felt sore in a while. Although I spent a few hours on Sat. and Sun. moving into a new house also, so that might have played a factor.

Nice workout on Tues.

It didn't look like to me you were lagging behind, at least when I passed you you wasn't. Did that sound right? Oh well I'm sticking with it!

Sounds right enough to me (sounds enough right?). I don't think we need to over edit on these comments.
