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. |

| Had to do 6x 1/2 mile repeats with only 60 sec break. Normally with bad weather I would just delay this workout until another day, but with racing on Saturday, today was the day. So when I woke up and there's a couple inches of snow on the ground, and I am not meeting anyone, I decide to take it inside. Here's the problem with this workout and the treadmill--you spend all of your rest time decelerating and accelerating. Goal pace for these are 3:16, but it's really more like 3:12 since I've been running them that fast or faster on the roads. Warm up - walked 1 mile, stretched, 2.5 miles running @ 8:40 pace 1 - 3:14 (taking time to ramp up speed), 60 sec rest 2 - 3:14, 60 sec rest 3 - 3:12 4 - 3:12 5 - 3:11 6 - 3:08 The pseudo rest and the fact that this was on a treadmill made this difficult, but never got in oxygen debt and I got it done. I just don't like to do hard workouts on the treadmill. total distance 8 miles running 63:28 More stretching after. My knee was scraped significantly at the PT yesterday, some nice bruises, so I could feel the knee toward the end of the workout, but nothing strong nor sharp. It was probably not ideal to go to the PT yesterday, but I couldn't go today due to scheduling conflicts. I need to ice my knee. |

| Walked .5 and stretching for warm up. Ran 7 with MacK, 8:42 ave pace. Roads not too bad driving down, but it snowed during our run so they're bad now. I was planning on going to Costco today but now I am not sure that's a good idea. Maybe this afternoon. Power lunges and ball grab when I got home. Will do abs tonight. |

Race went much better than I thought. I thought that I would love to keep 6:00 pace, but that I was in shape for 6:15. Well, either the course was short or I was sub 6:00 for the whole race. It was probably a true course, it was marked at mile markers, and the race directors corrected the 1/2 to make it true. My goals were to go even pace and to vomit or dry heave at the end (then I know I gave it all). 1 - 6:00 (by marker) Went out with Tyler. I was the first lady from the start. Goal was 6:15-6:20, when I got my split I knew my work was cut out for me on the even pace front 2 - 5:52 (by marker) at turn around I was still first, but the second place girl was right behind. I surged at 1.75 and dropped Tyler but the #2 girl was right behind me, I could hear her, and she passed me about at the 2 mile mark 3 - 5:59 (by my watch-didn't see 3 mile marker), try to not let her gap too much, but she's running strong and the race is getting hard. At .5 miles to go, I surge and try to close the gap, but she has the audacity to run strong too .1 25 sec, the #1 girl peels off, she's a bandit, so I get 1st place by default. I see the clock at 18:14 as I cross, ended up 18:15 official time. I was so happy when I finished, so happy with my time. I almost dry heaved, felt it coming on but the urge wasn't strong enough, so I bet I could have pushed the last mile harder. I do feel like I could have run it stronger, but I am thrilled with the time because I was just hoping to break 19:00 and this means I don't have as much ground to make up to get back to where I was. After the race, cheered in KellieS, then ran the 1/2 marathon backwards. Saw some strong men, AmberG in #2 (but she passed that lady!), and ran MacK in. The event was very well organized, and well done. Kudos to Hooper for his involvement. I won a $50 GC to his running store (St George Running Center) for the win.
