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. |

| Goals for this week: run 60 miles and go to the temple. Get 5.5 hours of sleep or more a night, work 40 hours, play with my kids each day (some of these goals conflict). |

Had a hard time falling asleep again because of the Sunday nap. I might have to cut out the nap. . .
Shorter run on the treadmill this morning to make time for more important things.
7:30 ave pace.
Had my radio tuned to KBear on accident so listened to some good songs but some funny glam rock type stuff and was subjected to a couple of monster truck commercials. |

Woke up at 3:10 am. The cr*p is really hitting the fan with work. I ate two pieces of bread and a banana right away, worked for a little over an hour then met MacK for a run. I definitely ate too much. Between not enough sleep, working before running, and eating too much before running, I wasn't feeling hot in the run. I did start to feel better at about 7.5 miles, then I decided I could do more than 10 miles.

woke up at 3:10am. too much work to run 10 miles. Eight will do.
7:30 pace on treadmill
Sucky day at work, then my daycare, a wonderful mom and a situation I can't replace, told me she needs me to find someone else. She is giving me time to look, but it's like a punch in the stomachs. Is it the Chuck E Cheese commercial where the kid says, "I just can't win!". I need some adult version of Chuck E Cheese right now, but don't have time for it. |

| I was supposed to meet Josse, but a stranded car at the end of our culdesac in the 14 inches of snow prevented me from getting out of WH so I changed clothes, hopped on the treadmill and did a marathon pace tempo. Warmed up for a mile, then 6:40 first mile, 6:35 for the rest. I felt like I could have gone faster if I had sleep, but that was the fastest I could go without risking failure (quitting the workout). HUGE project I have to finish today. Will I get any sleep tonight?

| I worked 16 hours yesterday, got just a bit of sleep last night then woke up early for more work. The good news is I got my most pressing job done today so I can run tomorrow. The bad news is I missed my first run this tax season because of my work, and I won't make the 60 mile mark either :( I also have a week worth of other tax returns/accounting I need to attend to, so the season has really begun. |

Met with the SF group. MacK and Josse and I started out together, and Kevin joined us for a while. I felt good at the start. MacK peeled off after 6 miles with us (she did a couple before I came) because she is feeling pain in her leg still. Injuries stink, and they stink worse the more serious you are about running. Josse and I went down Zephyr road and met up with Kent Wing, and he joined us on the pretty little road loop and back to SF. We picked up the pace on the downhill portion of the pretty line road, and that was fine, but Josse and Kent kept the fast pace going and I just faded more and more. I met up with them at Osbornes and was able to keep up only somewhat after that too. My GPS is BROKEN!!!! so I don't know the pace and the distance is approximate (thanks to Josse for letting me bum off hers), I would guess my overall pace was about 8:10, but that is faster in the middle and beginning, slower at the end. Josse kicked my butt up Zephyr hill and Heartbreak hill. Sigh. The lack of sleep is catching up to me. Weigh in 121, no weight gain yet!!! 8.5 weeks until the end of tax season.
