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. |

| Ran 8 miles on the TM, most at 7.5 pace. Read an academic article slowly for the first three, then turned on music. In the last couple of miles I did 6 strides but I hate doing strides on the TM because the ramp up/ramp down is so much slower than on a track or on the road. I ramped up to 10.0, held it for 20-30s then ramped down. Though I haven't been training much in the past few weeks, and not running every day, I have a 10,000 track race tomorrow. It will be a test of where I am after some downtime. It will be brutal. Hot temps, a bit heavy physique, a bit out of shape. Last year I did this race May 30th, 38:49 I think. We'll see if I can do that well this year. | |

| Went out to a village in Tung Chung, far away from home to look at a used bed (did not buy). Ran from the village into Tung Chung. I was so sweaty just from those two measley miles. Then ran around like a chicken with my head cut off for the rest of the day. Thought I would be buying a different bed I saw midday, but it's mattress was too soft. I am getting horrible sleep, which is partially me not handling stress well, and is partially our bad bed. But trying to buy a bed is stressing me out. We might end up just buying new from IKEA but their queens here are short, so we would need to buy a king and I don't really like their selection and I don't like their quality either. Bleh. |

27C, 90% humidity, it was hotter in the day but started to cool down. Knew it was going to be brutal conditions, 6 ladies total in the race and I am half out of shape, so had low expectations going into this. Wanted to just make it possible to do the finals in the fall. In order to make finals, I have to be ranked top 8 and run 2 of the 4 races in the series. Haven't done one yet and this is #3 in the series so I had to show up. Roberto advised 4:00/k pace, and a girl Sarah in the race wanted to break 40min so I told her to go out with me, I would be doing 95-96s laps. Ran a bit fast for the first two laps (3:07 for first 800m), felt ridiculously easy (it was my marathon pace 6 weeks ago). Here's my 2k splits: 7:54, 7:58, 7:58, 8:02, 7:54. The race got harder and harder, I got my first water after 7 laps I think, and I was dying by then. Got water perhaps 6-10 times, mostly throwing it on myself. But the water was in lane 3 so watch showed 10.62. I lapped everyone, some three times. When I lapped Sarah, the closest girl a bit over half way, she dropped out of the race. It was hard conditions so I don't blame her. So sorry, Luz, no PR.
