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. |

| Cut back week. Today I could take the day off or go 40-60 min. I chose to go on the tm for 6 miles, about 46-47 min. | |

| Ran with Mack for .25, but she pulled up because of a bum knee. Bummer. I hope it heals soon, for her sake and mine :D On my own without music and with bigger mittens. Nice and toasty. 7:41 ave pace. Exercises at home. And cleaned my wood floors. They were embarrassingly bad, which means cleaning them should count for cross training :D |

Catching up on the blogging. Had a rough time with this 5 mile tempo. Warmed up just over 3 miles, then started in. Wanted a low 6:20something pace. Was 6:20something at the first .25 mark, then my back did this major pinch thing it does a couple of times a year. Bad timing. For 1/2 mile every time I tried to go below 6:40 it would hurt pretty bad. And I still had the rest of the tempo ahead. I kept trying, and was able to drop pace slowly after 1/2 mile of pain. Kind put me off skew, though, so an off workout. Splits were 6:37, 6:31, 6:26, 6:30, 6:18, 6:28 ave pace. So glad the Beck song, I don't know the name, but goes "Na, na, na, na, na, na, na", came on in the last mile. It has a great fast beat. I am glad I was finally get into a good gear, but not the overall pace I wanted. Back didn't hurt in the last 4 miles, though I was running gingerly. Also fine in the cool down, but as soon as I stopped it hurt. Hurt to get dressed, to bend down to put on shoes, to get in the car. So I got a big time massage today. Skipped my core workout. So sad to do that. Also inside of my left ankle tendon area ached in cool down.

| Back still achy in the morning, not sure if I would run, thought I would let it warm up and then decide mid morning. Marion came over to ellip and I ran on the tm, started really slow, and gradually got to 7.6 mph. Got 7.3 in 59 min. Back felt better after run, just a bit sore and tenuous. I have been applying heat pad, taking muscle relaxants, and using my back massager. |

Was supposed to do 14-16 miles with fast finish (2-4 miles fast). I had the option of bailing on the fast bit if my back was feeling not 100%. It wasn't feeling 100%, and I was alone on my run and overdressed so really felt crappy, perhaps part of it was the bad air. But I stripped off a layer at 14 miles and decided to attempt the fast finish for just 2 miles. Was supposed to be goal 1/2 marathon pace, so I wanted 6:15. First mile was 6:16, but second mile stopped to use the bathroom (because I had to, dang it) and kept the watch running, and had a hard time getting back on track, 6:38, even with a fast 1/4 mile at the very end. Bleh. I guess its money in the bank, even if its 5 cents instead of the $1.15 I was hoping for. Here's to a better week this week!
