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.

Woke up before alarm - good - no snow. The weather so far has been highly cooperate for my training.

I met TylerS and Steve K. The plan was 10 mile tempo. We started with the hardest miles (about mile 1.5- mile 4 of the SF half), then some downhill, then some flatish miles at the end. The first three miles were by far the hardest for me. I felt like Tyler and I took turns being the strong one. I know I for sure threw some surges in there when I was feeling good, and I tucked in behind when I wasn't. It's just an easy way to stay on target pace-wise. Splits (6:38, 6:31, 6:36, 6:11, 6:10, 6:19, 6:20, 6:21, 6:17, 6:18), 1:03:46 for whole tempo, or 6:22.6 ave. This was a hilly course, and the splits show that, and there was a net uphill of about 50 feet over the whole tempo. It was a good workout.

Thanks so much, Tyler and Steve for meeting me. It's so much easier and more enjoyable with company.
