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. |

Slept in until 6:40. Walked 2 on treadmill, stretched while getting kids ready for school, then went to Marions. I ran with her, pushing little will. We ran 10:45-12 mm pace for 4.33, way chill. I dropped them off and ran 1.67 on my own. Total walking 2.4 miles. Ball grab and power lunges after. Left knee a tad niggly. 35 min abs |

Ran 1.71 and stretched before meeting up with Josse, and her running buddies Melody and Amanda. Started really slow, because I didn't do a walking warm up at home, 9:54 pace, then 9:20. We then ran 1.04 for a warm up (9:27 pace), then started into our workout. Workout was supposed to be 4x1 mile at 6:51 pace and 1:30 rest. Well, I think I have improved since my time trial four weeks ago, so I was targeting 6:45ish. 1 - 6:29, downhill (elevation 4922 at start, 4785 at end, 137 drop), felt easy, 1:32 rest 2 - 6:42, flat, 1:32 rest 3 - 6:36, flat, 1:31 rest 4 - 6:39, flat Melody pulled away on the last two, but I was already going faster than prescribed so I held back. I felt like I could have done more. It was a hard workout, but not puke at the end hard. I would really like to run my 5k next weekend at 6:00 pace, but I am realizing that it is not possible. My CV intervals of 1/2 mile each are averaging about 3:10, with short rests, so that is 6:20 pace. I am where I am. Bummer.

| Slept in, so ran treadmill, recovery pace, 8:57 pace on treadmill makes for a long boring 5 miles. Walked 3 miles on top of that. Also stretching, ball grab and ab workout in the evening. |

| Slept in. Had alarm set for 8am but woke up earlier. Walked 2.5 miles on treadmill, stretching. Met MacK and Aubrey for a 10 mile run (they went longer), 4 miles tempo after five miles easy, sb be 7:00-7:10 if flat: 6:56 (downhill), 6:58 (flat), 6:59 (low grade uphill for full mile), 6:53 (some downhill), felt good, felt faster than marathon pace though, so I will categorize as threshold miles, walked enough to make total distance 13.15 for the day. |
