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.

Walked 3.02 in 40:30ish, 13:25 ave pace

then 20 min pool running, more serious intensity this time. I'll be hitting the pool more this week. Pool running only unless Marion wants to give me a swim lesson :)

I am sooo wanting to run.

I forgot my medicine (to be taken in two doses) until 6pm last night, so took first dose then and second at 10ish. I felt some pain on my left SI area, 1-2ish, felt better by this morning. Marion will say that is psychotic psychosis and I won't argue.

Are you supposed to take them 12 hours apart? Hey psychotic psychosis whatever, as long as the SI feels better, it's all good!

NICE speedwalking and poolrunning. I want swimming lessons too!

I am a super bum this week. I am taking off from everything to see if that will get my ITB to relax and let me run :(:::::::::

Smooth, not sure on the 12 hours, but you would think you want them as far apart as possible.

Marion - can you pool run? Why don't you try that and see if it hurts?

From marion on Wed, Aug 12, 2009 at 11:46:47 from 71.219.51.169

I probably could, but I am doing an all out "fast" until Monday to see if the DARN thing will relax and let itself heal.

PS- see you in a few :)

You too Marion!

So nice to see you logging mileage again. I often set alarms on my cell phone to remind me of things to do. Maybe that would help remember the meds.
