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. |

| Last week the kids were off school for Chinese New Year, I thought they all went back on Monday, but JJ was telling me he had no school until Wednesday, and sure enough he had Mon/Tue off, so had to stay closer to home for my run (Paul was home with him, but wanted to get out on his run). Ran to Kowloon Tsai Park to check it out. Its a pretty big park (urban standards). I checked out the bathrooms, changing area, lockers, pool, the fields, the outdoor roller rink, the track, the jogging loop outside of the track, the old-people-stretching-and-maybe-doing-tai-chee area, etc. This week is a cutback week so I can be fresh for the Standard Chartered 1/2. It is the 1/2 associated with Hong Kong's big marathon. The 1/2 starts at 5:30. Yikes! Paul has been really sick for days and I am fighting a sore throat. Hope I can get 100%

| JJ still around the house, and I needed to do strides, so ran to Kowloon Tsai Park again. Ran 5k in 4:46 pace, then did 6x100m strides. 4 at 16 sec and last two at 15 sec. Some drills on the way back to the start, then 3.68k home. Core workout. Went to Hong Kong Park with JJ today. Went to the Convervatory and Aviary today for the first time. Had a good time. |

Warmed up 6k, then did 3 x 1600m, 3 min rest. A cut back workout because of race on Sunday. goal pace was 10k pace, though I am sure my pace was closer to 5k pace :D I was confused about my 200m splits on the first one, spent the first 800m trying to figure out if 41-42 is what I wanted to get 5:48 (I know, I am supposed to be an accountant, but running, esp fast running makes me slow). When I went by the half at 2:47, I knew I had overshot my 5:48 pace (hmmm, lets do the math, already 13 secs below 6 min pace). So my splits on the first mile were a tad crazy (82, 85, 87, 88) 5:43 total So a fast first mile is bad because I like to negative split (obviously not always internally within the mile). Kept much more even the second mile and got 5:42 (2:50 first half, 2:52 second). The third mile I went through the first half at 2:52, came through the 1000 at 3:35 (43) then did three 42's in the last 600m for a 5:40. This workout reminded me of my dear college days. Back when I tried out for BYU, the try out was 3 x 1600m repeats, 6:00 or faster (he eventually ratcheted it down). I failed this try out twice, I only got on the team after three attempts, and even the third try out was unimpressive. It is good to know that at 35 (ok I will be 35 at the end of the month) I can still make the team.
