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. |

| So happy to be in normal training! I guess this is base building time. I hope my body can handle some higher mileage, because we're going to be stepping it up. |

Slept in because my son and I were in the ER last night, due to him hurting his back on our new tramp, but he ended up being fine. Did a run after the kids went to school. Warmed up 24 min, then stretched, then did 20x25 sec strides, with 60 sec rest in between. 16 min cool down. Ran out of time for more. Had an emergency dental appt for my same son, little JJ. Thankfully two sports activities tonight were cancelled due to the rain, decreasing the business. I have another son who swallowed a quarter last week, and it hasn't passed yet, so we had two medical appts for him today. The quarter's still hanging out in his tummy, so Miralax for him! Core in the evening. I graduated to level 3 of stage 2. It is: 20x plank with leg lifts, each leg 20x side plank with leg lifts 3x20x scissor kicks 25x metronome (I only did 21 this time, will try to increase one each workout. These are so killer and stress my lower back) 25x bicycle 20x three ways Jane Fonda leg lifts (leg lifts without being in side plank position) 25x sunrise lifts then I add 30x3sec bridge and another ab workout my PT gave me that I won't try to describe. This just builds off my prior workout, but turning the screw did make it harder.

| Ran on my own, warmed up 10.5 minutes, then stretched, then continued warm up. After 34 minutes started my 20 min "steady state" tempo (6:21-6:32 pace). At about 5 minutes, I ran into much more severe construction than I bargained for (Arrowhead trail and highway), and needed to walk/jog around some bridge work, so stopped my watch for that, but then chugged on. did 3.13 in 20:17, or 6:29 ave pace, first mile really drug down the pace, but recovered over the rest. 70:15 for 9.4 overall. |

| 7something pace walked 4.3 miles at the ball field during Mickie's game. Any type of baseball is way boring, but little kid baseball is downright painful. |

Woke up to it SNOWING! and it was sticking on the ground. I laughed hysterically and showed Paul. I guess our all day hike to celebrate our 14th anniversary will have to wait. I walked .5 miles, took out the Enbrel out of the fridge, did stretching and got ready, then shot myself in the stomach. Met Aub and Beth after about 1.5 miles. We ran about 8 together before I got antsy and went ahead a bit. My pace with them was 7:55, I am guessing it dropped a bit after that. Felt really good until about mile 14-15, when I started to feel like I needed a gu, but I was too close to the end of the run to take one. So thrilled to weigh 124 flat! I haven't been sub 125 (that I remember) since before my injury. I have been trying to eat very disciplined, eating the right sort of foods, but this week has been more challenging. Since I have upped my miles I am very hungry. Yesterday I ate 3,000 calories, all clean, except for a sample of a peanut butter bar at Maceys.
