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. |

| Bad sleep. Often happens after a night of good sleep. Ran 4 on the treadmill. My right glute is in pain again, started acting up last night. Don't have time to go to doctor, but will if it doesn't go away. weight 125 (dang)

| Ran with MacK. Weather was actually good to start, we decided to do 12 and it started to snow at around 3 miles so we knew we needed to head out 6 so we would have to run back six. Stomach empty at the start of the run, but had enough energy. MacK made me laugh just as I stepped on a piece of ice and I went down, but in a funny way. I was lucky a limb didn't fall off today the way I was sliding around. Nothing like treadmill running to make me appreciate road running with a friend. ave pace 7:57 weight 123

| Betcha thought I didn't run today! Got up at 4am, hit the treadmill. This was my first "speed" workout since the marathon. Sort of a reintroduction to speed. "Hello, I am fast running." "Hi, fast running, it's nice to meet you. You feel uncomfortable." After a 2 mile warm up, started at 6:44, then to 6:40 after .75, then in the last 1.75 miles I upped the pace gradually until I was at 6:17 for the last .5 mile. It was hard, and especially monotonous on the treadmill, but I told myself I needed to set a precedent of not giving up and just slogging through the miles. Work is busy, but I am not buried or hopelessly stressed =)

Met MacK and TylerS in SF. Ran 2 miles warm up. During the warm up I noticed I was having a hard time breathing. I think its the typical sleep deprivation, caffiene effects I experienced last year. Also right glute hurt. Stretched, then started a 4 mile tempo, starting at Osborne's, then around the golf course. So first mile is uphill, then next mile is downhill with some uphill at the end, then gradual .5-1% downgrade for last two. Splits from last time I did this in December were (6:47,6:13, 6:05, 5:54) 1 - 6:24, MacK hung with us for about half a mile, but continued to push at her pace 2 - 6:14 3 - 6:10 4 - 6:06, 6:14 ave pace Tyler ended up 2-4 seconds ahead, and I am sure he could have done even better if I could have been up there with him. Felt like death after the tempo. Glute hurt and felt like a zombie, but felt better after a mile slow.
ave pace overall 7:34
Ice bath (because of glute)
