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. |

| Can you say 2 hour nap? It was much needed after having a hard time falling asleep last night. I didn't workout until this evening. The metro out to HKSI was stalled because of an passenger related accident, and I didn't know how long I would be waiting on the metro, so I hopped off at Tai Wai and ran the 3.8k to HKSI I met Ali. Her workout was 20 x 400m starting every 2:30. Her pace was 75 to 85 (I did not know they would be so fast). So I planned to do 8-10, doing every other one. Kind of like a very long stride, but my target was 85. So I was the caboose the whole workout, which was fine. My splits were: 85, 84, 83, 83, 85, 84, 85, 80. I decided to just do eight, since the purpose was just to do a bit of speed and touch base with the cheetah in me :D |

| Got into Italy at about 8:30, got a car, drove to my hotel, got there at about 11:45. I took a shower, had lunch, napped then went for a shake out run. When I stepped outside for my run, I was hit with bright light, the sun
was shining but the temperature was still mild. I was struck with a wistfulness for
home. I miss this clear sunshine without
the humidity. And the smell. The earth overwhelms the cement and you can
smell it. I ran 7k around Sarnico, then on the other side of the lake, ending
at a grocery store. I found fly
tape! I have been looking for fly-tape
in HK for weeks, as the fruit flies started appearing with the warm
weather. | |

Woke up at 5:10am, but was thankfully able to fall back
asleep until 7:10. I went out for an
easy 30 minute run through Sarnico again.
After cleaning up I went down for breakfast. It was a buffet. I had rolls with brie (yay brie, I have been
craving you) and a very nice thinly sliced ham, some yogurt, a roll with
nutella on it, a sweet roll, and about 50ml of chocolate milk. There was no fruit in the spread which
surprised me, but as you can see I got plenty to eat.
I took a walk close to my apartment. I walked in an area close to some apparently
unused train tracks. There was dirt and
grass underfoot, a grove of trees to my right, and there was no one in
sight. I could hear the squawking of geese
on the lake nearby but not in sight. I
could hear birds. The distinct sound of
a chainsaw caused a swelling of longing in my heart. I miss Utah.
Being here makes me miss home.
The smells, the sounds. I sat for
a bit and took in the sensory reminders of how different my new home is. Race tomorrow! The course is mostly flat, but a bit rolly at the beginning, then a nice hill at about 17 - 18k, then a bit rolly to the end (it's a 26k race). Ciao. | |
