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.

biked the Salem to Genola there and back, with a detour in a Salem neighborhood going up a side street to chat with Andy G.

26.54 miles. I really think on Sasha's 15 year old mountain bike with one gear I should get 2/1 credit for bike miles to run miles conversion, but my miles don't mean much right now anyway. It took about 2 hours (2:08 with breaks). I've always wanted to see Genola, but its a small town and there wasn't that much to see. I rode through downtown Santaquin and saw a mom and pop restaurant I'd like to try out. I'm stretching for anything interesting to write about. I guess I best shut up.

Lyrics from my ipod, from a band which was only together for a few years, late 70's to early 80's, one of my favorite all time bands for their lyrics:

"Learn to love me, assemble the ways, now, today, tomorrow and always. My only weakness is a list of crimes, my only weakness is . . . well, never mind, never mind."

Anyone know it?

You are so freakin cool :) I love the Smith's they make me smile, they make me cry.

Some girls are bigger than others, some girls' mothers are bigger than other girls' mothers.

I LOVE the Smiths! They get me through the worst runs. Some girls are bigger than others is one of my all time fav's! Girlfriend in a coma is my current favorite!
