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. |

Son with sore throat on Sun/Mon, other kid with stomach flu on Mon = mommy gets both on tuesday AM: ran 5 miles on the TM PM: Met Ali and a crew of chinese runners and Curtis at the Wan Chai track. 3.08k warm up at 4:49 pace. Workout was to do 12 x 800m on the 4 min, with a goal pace of 4:40. I have done 10 of these at 2:38 ave, but I should have backed off my goal because of the way I felt, but I ignored it. In addition to feeling sick, have my monthly visitor and weighing in heavier so just feel yuck. Here's how it went: | Rep | Time | Rest | Note | | 1 | 2:43 | 1:17 | didn't feel easy, tell myself have to ease into these workouts, usually first is slowest | | 2 | 2:40 | 1:18 | felt better | | 3 | 2:40 | 1:20 | felt better but needing potty break and rests are not long enough, Curtis encourages me to do one more rep before potty break | | 4 | 2:40 | 1:25 | rest time includes quick potty break | | 5 | 2:41 | 1:20 | | | 6 | 2:45 | 5:15 | wheels falling off, lack of energy/stamina, decide to rest out one then see how the rest of the workout goes, potty break | | 7 | 2:40 | 1:19 | taking another stab, tell myself 2:40-2:45 is just fine | | 8 | 2:39 | 1:20 | | | 9 | 2:42 | 2:38 | Curtis and Lo Lo's last time, I am on my own so see if Ali is doing more, but she is done, so I have three on my own | | 10 | 2:41 | 1:19 | | | 11 | 2:41 | 1:18 | | | 12 | 2:42 | | | | Ave | 2:41.2 | | |
So I was persistent if not brilliant in this workout. I am a bit stubborn, because I should have perhaps adjusted the whole workout, but I will adjust my plans for my next workout (long run Friday).

| Met Curtis for a long run. Still not feeling well (head cold, some stomach issues). I scaled back this run then to just be a long run with hopefully a fast 5k end. 5k paces for this run were: 4:42,4:28, 4:28, 4:28, 4:30, 4:28, 3:48. Ben had a track meet for his school. Got 1st in his 200m heat in 35 seconds (there were no semis or finals). Then he ran an 800m run and got 2:55, which is better than his 1500m of 6:09 predicted (it predicted 2:59). So I was chuffed. Also it is great to get times for him so I can suggest workouts for him. I just wish I could get him to run daily to build a base, but base-building isn't sexy enough for a 13 year old. He just wants to do intervals. Can't force wisdom on your kids :D |
