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. |

If I do still have any blog followers you have been sorely disappointed in me :( I am a bad blogger. I am in week 2 of a two week spring break. Why they torture parents with such a long break is a mystery to me. Oh, wait, it's so the rich expats can go on a proper "holiday" to Thailand or Bali. We stayed home, and I have been playing entertainer. Anyway, I met Roberto and Alison for my big 18k tempo, dress rehearsal for my 26k race in 13 days. I wanted to do a pace similar to my standard chartered half (3:53/k) after starting at 4:00 and slowly accelerating. Roberto thought 3:57 was more realistic, and it was hot and the 3:57 ended up being very realistic. Alison was going to start with us and see if her ankle would allow her to do the tempo for 24k. 5k warm up. We did the first 3k at 4:00-3:58, my lower back was giving me some trouble, some tightness, then it loosened up and I accelerated, and Alison didn't respond, she seemed to slow, so we didn't see her again. Roberto carried two water bottles filled with some type of drink, which was good since it was rather warm (24C?) and humid and I ended up sweating quite a bit. We generally kept 3:57ish, which was the best I could do. The 10-15k section was hard, but we dropped the pace a bit on the last 2k, though Roberto dissuaded me from actually kicking in the last k. It was a success (3:56 or 3:57 ave pace), but leaves me hungry for more, and I really want to go sub 3:55 pace in the 26k. I just need to be smart because it will be a LONG race and I will suffer if I go out too fast. I am hoping for 7-12C which might just happen. Cooled down with Roberto a scant 2k, then ran 3k more at home. Core workout in pm

| Ran 21.22k by myself. 4:47 ave pace. Half a core workout. Playing the tag game infection with my kids and their friends should count as cross training. I am not good at the explosive sprint and jumping through bushes. It was fun. Had my primary kids over for a pizza party and I also made choc chip cookie bars so my eating was, well, not so great. |

| Met Roberto for an "easy" run around Ma On Shan at the wee hours of the morning (6:15, I am so wussified compared to my Utah working mom schedule, MacK you would be ashamed). 13.87k at 4:33 ave pace. Roberto is priming me for my Italy trip. Buen Giorno! Gratzie! Cuanto? That's about it. |

| Met Ali and Roberto. Started easy but did a progression run, last bit had 12 minute progressively harder, 4:15 ave pace for first, 4:05, then 3:50. I wanted to finish faster, but Roberto restrained me. Excited to race! |
