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.

No run.  Paul still out of town.  Treadmill still out of commission.

I did play with my kids at the park and had several impromptu races, so at least I got my heart pumping.

Ran mid morning. I had the same breathing issues that my mid morning runs have been having lately, but it did go away at around mile 5, ran faster 5-7.5. At 7.5 I had a Wendy's potty break and my breathing issues came back for another .5 mile. In my last miles I was going at a pretty good clip, so thought I would follow Sasha's example and throw some strides in my run. I did 4 in the last bit of the run.

Ave pace 8:14, all sub 8 min in the last half of the run.

Weight at 126, not good but not too bad.  I have five more weeks of tax season and I really want to stay on this side of 130.  That would be so awesome.

I double booked running partners this morning, I guess I was just so excited that I could run in the morning that I scheduled MacK and Josse.

I ran just over 7 miles with MacK and then hopped in the car and drove to SF to run 8 with Josse. It is so nice to be able to run with friends!

ave pace 8:10 with MacK

ave pace 8:22 with Josse (its not Josse's fault the pace was slower, I started to feel junky). I felt the worst as we discussed the Wasatch Back Relay. Just thinking about that relay makes me feel sick.

My treadmill is fixed! Only $414 :) It is a really good treadmill, though. I bought it used from Gold's Gym so it is industrial quality.

Rocked out to FooFighters (my mp3 player is back too since Paul is back in town) and did a mile at 6:44 for some fast songs.

I woke up with a sore throat, but overall I still have been much healthier this tax season. Was so glad to take a nap yesterday.

ave pace 7:35

Went to Josse's and she showed me how to scrape my legs.  Boy she knows how to inflict pain!

Ran with the SF group.  Ran with Josse and MacK, with a little bit of Kevin and Pat thrown in to spice.  I was pretty tired, but was almost capable of keeping up.  Josse and MacK are both running really strong.  It was cold (about mid 20's) and very windy in parts.

Ave pace approx 8:10
