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. |

| 5.5k warm up. I got diagnosed with tonsillitis on Saturday, but only feel under the weather, so I am doing this race! Also the weather was unseasonally cool (about 15C), so it was a good race day. I ran this last year in 37:30. This year I wanted to break 37 minutes, but not kill myself doing it, since my marathon was 8.5 days out. My friendly neighborhood nemesis Yiu Kit Ching was not here, but Ali Chow was. She is not really a threat though since she is more of a one-pace marathon specialist, and has never broken 38 on a road 10k. The race is out 2k, back to the start, then out 3k, then back to the start so I will record the splits and compare to the prior year (I had them in my head and so was comparing in the race). | | This year | Last year | | | 2k | 7:26 | 7:31 | I started out really mellow, Ali right by me, about 30 guys ahead of us, and I was using to draft as there was headwind, I started to surge to frog hop to guys ahead after 750m | | 2nd 2k | 7:20 | 7:30 | I thought there would be tailwind, and the splits say it is so, but it felt like headwind, after the turn around I had to surge to catch a guy pack to draft but the lead guy slowed and I had to take the lead to make pace, have a pic on my FB of me leading the guys at around 3k | | 3rd 2k | 7:31 | 7:32 | The headwind probably a factor for this and the next k | | 7th k | 3:47 | 3:46 | | | 8th k | 3:38 | 3:50 | I felt like the 8th k killed my chances of a sub 37:30 last year so I wanted to run this strong, and was able to :D | | last 2k | 7:07 | 7:20 | About 3:37, then 3:30 for the last 2k | | | 36:52 | 37:30 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
About 3k cool down. I was happy that no men passed me in this race after about 750m. That was cool. Ready for Boston! |
