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. |

| I ran 3 miles with my sister (about 13 min/mile pace) then I ran on my own, 5 minutes at threshold, 1 minute off (6 times). I tried to keep the pace threshold, not too hard, but the last one was hard and I think it was my fastest one. The run was in Salinas, CA. |

| I wanted to run 10 this morning, but I hung out with my family last last night. Yesterday was my Grandma's funeral, and all seven of us kids were there. It was an awesome experience to all hang out together. We went to the beach at seaside, hung out in a gazebo with a fire at the Monterey Hyatt resort, then went to a restaurant and hung out there for three hours. It was awesome and I didn't want the night to end. I had 5 hours of driving today so I couldn't cut the sleep too short, thus a sluggish 5 was all I was able to eek out. |

| No run. Does closing your eyes at red lights count as nap time? |

Can anyone tell from my # miles run what came in the mail yesterday? I got a new garmin. Great and timely warranty service. I was running out of time during my son's preschool after doing two errands, but I thought I could get in 10 miles if I ran 7:30 pace. I hit the first mile in 7:18, then 7:33 on mile 2. By 1.5 miles the tightness in my throat was bugging me again. I am not sure why it happens, but the last time was last Tuesday and I basically have to slow down and concentrate on my breathing. It might have something to do with running two days at sea level, but that isn't enough time to make me unused to altitude, right? So my speedy run went mediocre. Part of it may be getting out of shape, but 5 minutes after I stopped running I was still having constriction. The problem seems to be breathing in, not breathing out. Dang. I am happy I was able to run though. My treadmill is still broken and the repair man isn't scheduled until next Tuesday. Paul comes home tonight around midnight then turns around and goes to Sydney Australia. Hopefully that will be his last trip for a while. ave pace 8:03, not too bad considering. |

Ran slowly like a turtle with too little sleep up in Woodland Hills. Just glad Paul is home for the 15 hours before his next trip so I can run and talk with him a bit.
ave pace 9:43! |

| I met Sasha and the gang, which turned out to be Adam, Hyrum, Jon and Tyler. Jon especially enjoyed the starting line feel each time we started outside Sasha's home. We ran 2 then dropped Hyrum off. I was nervous about trying to run long at a faster pace, so the warm up was nice (8 min pace or slower for first three miles or so). I also got more sleep the night before to help me feel ok about doing a decent workout. The pace just gradually dropped and it was comfortable. I didn't have any breathing issues that I have had periodically over the last couple of weeks. We had some nice conversations, some cheesy jokes from Sasha, including one in espanol. At 12 miles we dropped off Adam and Tyler, and then it was Jon, Sasha and I to go out for eight more (which would give me 20, which I haven't done since the summer, my longest run in recent history was 18 at the Painters half). Jon had some strange pain in his foot so he had an interesting stride going for a while. We picked it up a little in mile 19 when we were discussing competitiveness (go figure). I started to feel quite fatigued in mile 20, and I think my brain was starting to shut down. Jon and Sasha sprinted the end and I had no desire to jump in the fray.
BTW, I saw MacK at the grocery store last night. It was funny, she saw me just as I was starting a race with all three of my boys up and down a slow aisle. I was able to meet her husband and her son for the first time. ave pace 7:38, much faster than my long runs in the summer. It didn't feel like a 20 miler like my summer runs did. Cool! |
