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 an hour, probably only 4 miles because some was on the beach, where some ladies aparently get together to do on the beach yoga. They invited me to join, but I told them I don't know yoga (which is true).

We rented an 18ft boat and that was way fun, though I thought I might flip off an die when I was towed on a tube at full speed. It was very frightening and thrilling.

Then we went to North Beach for several hours. I ran in the lake for 21.5 minutes.

Then we rented two seadoos, and we had a great time doing that. Paul and I traded off who was with Benji, who could handle more speed, and Mickie and JJ, who could not. They all took turns driving. It was good too introduce them to this.

Then we rented a bike surrey, and our kids rented banana bikes, and we biked to a shake shop, I got a brownie shake (it wasn't that good :( ) and then we went back to the KOA and raced around the park until our hour ran up. I was wearing a skirt and it would billow up when I biked hard AND I was the one who was steering, so I was holding my skirt with one hand and steering with the other, it was hilarious.

Sounds like a lot of fun times. I need to try some of those adventures (not the biking in a skirt bit though)

No, that was the funnest part of all. Way to feel free :)
