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. |

| Slept in and ran after the kids went to school. Wanted 14 miles in 1:45, so made sure I kept around 7:30. 1:46 total run, 7:25 ave pace. PM: PT appt, worked on left arch, which bugged in the 5th mile of my run this morning, and SI joint, which had tweaked a couple of times in the run, and hamstring. Paul was there getting PT at the same time, we drove down together--a PT date 5.04 at the ElkRidge park with MacK while JJ had a soccer game, then core after dinner |

Met Emily and TylerS for a workout today, my first with Emily. Met at SF riverbottoms and went toward the mouth and back to bishops for the warm up (3.7 warmup). Tempo was 3 miles toward the mouth of the canyon, then 180 for 3 miles back. I wanted 6:15-6:20 pace. Mile 1 - 6:23 (slight uphill so just right), 6:25 (slight uphill still ok), 6:31 (slight uphill and unpleasant headwind, I am behind Tyler and Emily by now), 6:22 (slight down, tailwind, having a hard time transitioning to faster pace), 6:13 (that's more like it, Emily is done), at 5.2 I took a perhaps 30-40 sec break for an emergency pit stop, dang it, stopped my watch. Jumped right back into tempoing and got 6:15 for last mile, including the climb at bishops, so it was net flat, though I did get the potty break to catch my breath a bit. So the verdict is 6:21.5 ave pace, not quite what I wanted. I felt deadlegged, and my left quad was especially tightish, but I am proud I pushed through. The real winner today was Tyler. He's an animal. I wish I could bust out workouts like he can. Took a mini morning nap, then went to AF to put my car in the shop. Ran AF toward Alpine for 40 minutes in perfect mid 60's weather--i was sport-braing it. It was liberating :) Dragging dead wood from our forest to the road for bonus exercise, then core workout at 8pm.

| Met Josse, Mack, Aubrey and Ericka at the mouth of the canyon. ericka waited for Luz and Smooth. We ran a leisurely 5 up (net clime on these miles wer about 34, 71, 86, 108 and 57), then 5 down at higher effort but still easy pace, then Aub Mack and I kept going, back up the canyon then back down, getting to 18 miles, then I dropped them off. We kept a faster pace, but I knew I wasn't feeling it on the energy side of things, so was nervous about the last 6 miles on my own. Went back up the canyon for 3.5 (to get to the bathrooms, then back down). My solo uphill miles were 7:57, 7:48 and 7:57. Then the half up and down was 7:26, then did 6:54 and 7:04, and .2 at 6:40 to finish up (my splits got off in the middle). Ended up walking .5 to get back to my car. My stomach/sugar levels felt off for the last 6 miles. Only did 2 gus in the run, probably should have had three. Last few miles felt more like the end of a marathon than my last 24 miler, but being almost done made the last few miles easier than 17-22. Went in the river for a nice freezing soak afterward. It was nice to do the Provo River. I wanted some up and downhill since my marathon has some of both. |
