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. |

Met MacK, she ran, I rode. Rode the Pachev bike for 5.7 miles, it went flat gradually, even though I put in a new tire with slime in it. Then I walked 1.5 miles to my car. So I left it at MacK's house for her husband to fix :) Dr appt. Things are improving, my mood was happy until he put me in a geeky harness and made me run on the treadmill, staring at myself in the stupid form harness. Then he told me to buy one and USE it. Dang. He also said only treadmill running this week, starting no earlier than Thursday. Except the thing is I am planning on running outside on Saturday. it will be my first act of defiance. Four miles outside Saturday! (maybe three)

| Three on the treadmill. A staff accountant called me at 1.5, so I had to get off the treadmill, catch my breath, and answer his questions, then hopped back on. Ran with the harness the first mile, after walking .25 warm up (in harness). That thing is irritating. And I think its hard to run on a treadmill coming off an injury because you have nothing else to focus on except, "am I injured still?" "does this hurt?" "Am I really healed?" Endless psychosis and no answers. My injury did have some soreness the first mile or so, and my right leg was tightening, but not enough to stop, but after I hopped back on the treadmill it felt much better. Before the run I thought I would be able to blog, "Legs felt great!" But they didn't. Slowly worked into 8:13 pace, so nothing exciting or impressive there. |

Planned on running 4 then a bike ride. Ericka and Josse joined in SF. We ran with the SF group. Josse and Ericka turned around at 1.5 miles, but I wanted 4 and they had to replace Erika's flat tire, so I kept running with Merri, then with MacK and Merri. Then I was on my own and wandered through a neighborhood, stopped at a laundromat for their toilet, then met up with Josse and Ericka. Ericka's tire was being a pill and they broke a tool trying to replace it, so she hung out in the car while Josse and I biked, which is so dull and I am so sorry Ericka! I was riding the Pachev's 10 year old mountain bike and Josse's got her expensive, nice road bike, so you know who was struggling during the ride. Crotch way sore. Several times I asked Josse, "Is my back tire flat? It feels flat." And she's like, "It's fine" Later: "Is my back tire flat now?" "It's still fine." I am such a wuss. Legs were way tired by the end. I can tell I am getting out of shape. I am turning into a marshmallow. Hopefully things are turning around again. I don't have pace for any of it. I mapped both on the course tool and my run was 4.75 (oops), and the bike ride was 15 miles, I'll count 3 bike miles = 1 running mile, though I think I should get a 2:1 ratio for that bike (I appreciate the Pachev's letting me borrow it, and its way better than what I have which is a big fat nothing, but it is not the most efficient machine). Afternoon - rode another three miles or so with my son (he rode about 2, I kept going ahead and circling back for him). The hills in WH are killer (example, we had to walk up a 15% grade Loafer Road segment). We vowed to do it again next week and get better at conquering the hills. I'll count as a mile. Nice to get my metabolism up a little in the afternoon. Some stretching this evening, but felt a sharp pain in my problem glute (radiated down leg). That wasn't good. After that stretching hurt so I stopped. Bogus. Going to watch a Cary Grant movie I don't think I have seen yet (His Girl Friday). He is so dreamy. I bet it will turn out that I have seen it, but we'll see.
