Long-Term Running Goals: Break 2:46 in Boston! 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. |

Verifiably sick, some type of cold. Slept in, had to be in to work by 8am, so with sickness and lack of sleep the night before, knew I needed sleep more than a workout in the wee hours. Worked overtime, then came home exhausted. Dinner, then rested, then hopped on treadmill. Walked .5, then ran 3.5, slow and still dinner wanted to come up (but it didn't). Left groin hurty.

Slept in until 9am. Standard indoor warm up: walked .5 (during walk only - pain shooting from back of ankle down to heel on left), speed ham lunges and stretching. Went upstairs to get kids to eat breakfast, start them on chores, then back on treadmill. Planned workout: alternate miles from easy pace (9mm) to moderate pace (8mm). At .83 miles a client called and I had to take the call, then take care of some work biz, then back on treadmill. Finished workout as planned. 8:57 pace for easy, 8:00 for faster miles. Felt yucky but better than yesterday. Still have a cold. Had 10 minutes to prepare for lunch with Britta, Kelli, Teena, and Marion. Had an absolutely lovely time. Thank you Britta and Kelli for organizing, and to all for taking time out of your day. It was great to get to know you better. Walmart with Marion, her staring at me as I stare at the produce. Paul is going to a low carb diet, so I guess I am going along with him. His thyroid and liver docs say he needs it so WHATEVER. Carbs are for sissies anyway. I am so craving some toast. 35 min ab workout in evening. Think aches are due to not taking anti-inflammatory well over last couple of days. Took first doses in evening then last doses right before bed, so not evenly spaced through day. Lots of caffeine and bad diet also can't be good for the bod. Will do better.

| Conditions very icy/snowy. Roads 95% covered with 90% bad traction for first half of run, got better, to about 75% bad traction by end of run (started running at 9:30am). warm up inside 2.25 warm up (8:56, 8:50, 9:10 pace for .25), then tinman tempo for 5 miles through hilly terrain (7:13 pace if flat and good conditions, had to just go by feel): 7:41 (net up), 7:50 (net up), 7:30 (up and down), 7:04 (net down), 7:23 (up and down) 7:30 ave for 5 mile total (course was net uphill), then right into 90 min rest, 30 min strides x 5. This part was hard, I was tired of the foot slippage. 1:35 rest (8:00 pace) 33 sec (5:42 pace) 1:33 rest (7:34 pace -downhill) 41 sec (7:14 pace - wow slow) 1:33 rest (8:46 pace - uphill) 32 sec (6:44 pace - uphill) 1:31 rest (8:21 pace) 34 sec (6:05 pace) 1:29 rest (9:01 pace) 32 sec (6:37 pace - uphill) |

| Ran watchless - gps had no charge. This was a problem since I was supposed to do 10 miles, starting at 9:30 pace, and increasing to 7:40-8:00 pace for the last 6, and the last 6 were supposed to be on hills, and I was in unfamiliar territory, kind of (in Payson). Ended up running it just right. Focused on high knees, chin up, eyes up, on hilly faster miles. per course tool, I ran 10.02, I was out 1:24, but I take of 3 minutes for leisurely bathroom break in Smiths toward the beginning, so 1:21, or 8:05ish ave pace. |
