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.

Had a hard time falling asleep. Ended up with just 5.5.  I do not like daylight savings! Felt good while running despite the bad sleep: 7:40 pace for 8.5 miles.

Met MacK and Holly in the SF river bottoms.  Did 4.09 mile warm up in 3:138 (7:45 pace), then did 12x 1 min on/off.  On was supposed to be 10kish pace, and it was supposed to be rolling terrain.  I started at the bottom of Zephyr and did pretty little road loop 1.5 times (finished at the top).  So definitely rolly, and net uphill too.  Holly peeled off before the workout, but MacK hung out with me. 3.13 cool down.

PM: 40 min recovery run.  My recovery pace is 8:06-8:36, did 4.88 miles at 8:12 pace.  Felt nice to shuffle along.  Core workout

AM: Plan was 4-5 x 5 min on (10k pace effort)/3 min off, so I was going to do 5 of them, of course.  I wanted to be under 6:00 pace, but of course my true 10k pace is probably around 6:0something.  I did these paces 6:02, 6:02, 6:08 (told myself in the middle of #3, when I wasn't feeling "on" that I would only do four), 6:04, 6:09, in the three minutes between #4 and #5 just gave myself the option to do four, but really I knew I wanted to do five.  Glad I hung in there.  Temps were about 33F, but there was crosswind, and my hands were painfully cold by the end of the cool down. 12.21 in the am, 1:20 massage, about half of it focused on my back.

PM: Ran afternoon 4.84 miles in 8:10 ave pace while kids were at gymnastics.  Core workout.

8 miles in 7:58 ave pace.  A tad windy!  PT appt.  Worked right ham, which has been tight, left ITB and my left groin area (can't remember what it's been called) which has been bugging for about a month (not while running, just is tender to the touch).
