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. |

| Got cleared to run today by Dr. Brady! Gradual increase and using the form harness one mile a day are the dues. So I will be out tomorrow (ok, maybe I'll be in, since there's so much snow). Had about 8 needles in me today, good times. |

| Treadmill since there was a blanket of snow outside. My glute and calf were sore (and calf bruised, probably from acupuncture) from being worked on yesterday, but they held up. Walked .25 with harness on, then ran one mile with it, then .25 without it, then stopped and stretched. At that point I could feel soreness in glute and in calf, mostly tightness in calf, but not extreme, kind of medium. Stretching helped alot. Got back on the treadmill and ran 3.75 more, for my first 5 mile run in weeks. It seems so long when you are out of shape! I hate the treadmill, but am glad I have it for snowy mornings, and even more glad that I am able to run, even if on the treadmill.

| Bike ride from hades 9.94 mile bike ride in 45 minutes. Very hilly. Stopped just once as I went up Elk Ridge drive at the steepest part. I will do better next time. It was so hilly, on the uphill parts I was breathing in a ragged, about to pass out manner, so I am counting part of this hard, but staying true to the 3:1 ratio. Nasty, nasty though, much harder than any 3.31 mile run I have ever done. Fastest mile was 2:39 (fastest pace 2:09), slowest was 5:54, geez I could run it at that pace, same effort too. More than one gear on the bike would have helped :)

| 1pm run. Sunshine, shorts, 7:53 pace! Sweet. Felt good throughout the run. Kept pace easy by singing to my music. I sounded so good! I forgot the harness, so I focused on the form tips Dr. Brady gave me throughout the run, but especially the first mile. Stretched after 1.25, but even before stretching legs felt fine. Only some mild soreness at SI joint and sitting bone. |

Rode bikes with Ben, attacked the hills better, went longer than last time, but Ben got uncooperative and sad by the end. I need to make sure i don't push him too hard.
Legs felt great at work, the best they've felt for a long time.

| Ran 1 mile with harness, met up with Doug and Jill at about .8 miles, embarrassed to have that thing on, but took it off as soon as my watch beeped one mile. My legs felt not so great from the start. Had mild soreness at SI joint for the first 5 miles, which gradually increased. Stopped to stretch at 1.7 miles and that's where Josse joined me. At about 5.5 miles, a more major pain shot down my leg and then my SI joint, whole right leg didn't feel right. We got to our cars a 6.15 miles. I wanted to run 7 but that wasn't wise, so I stretched some, and we hopped on our bikes. Problem was, it was cold. My hands were painfully cold by 2 miles into the bike ride, and I asked if we could turn just after 4.5. Problem was, it was even colder going the other direction. I curled my fingers into my gloves, and tried not to think about frostbite. Josse humored me and let me talk taxes for a bit. She humors me in general, I appreciate her! I was in pain driving home, fingertips so, so cold. I found I wasn't breathing because of the pain so I started taking deep breaths. Well that led to what seemed like a panic attack (hyperventillating, senses dulling), which I have only had once before. No pain in the chest though. Got home somewhat dazed and confused, but I took a hot bath and am now feeling better/normal (for me :) normal's relative). Ave pace for run 8:47. Did that include some rest? Not sure. |
