Personal:

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.

Met Lomax.  So great to workout with her. Warmed up 3.32 miles in 8:03 pace with a stretching break in the middle, then 20x 25 sec on/60 sec off, starting at 5k pace and dropping pace at the end.  5:35 ave pace for first 5, 5:31 for second 5, 5:23  for third 3, and 5:11 for the fourth 5, then 3.05 miles cool down in 8:11 pace.  Ali kept up really well, much better than we thought since she hasn't been doing speed.  Core workout in PM.

Met MacK and EmilyB for a run with a steady state tempo.  Almost bailed on them and waited for better weather, but it seemed to clear up. Tempo was supposed to be 3-4 miles.  I did 3.  Warmed up out toward Payson, and it started to rain.  Ended up raining intermittently throughout the workout.  Emily and I saw a nice rainbow and some scary but not close lightening during the actual tempo.  Warmed up 4.14 miles, then started the tempo just to the east of the Payson Onion Days 10k start.  Went out on the 10k course, and turned around at two miles. Tempo: 6:17 (slight downhill), 6:18 (probably net flat), 6:31 (included a quick potty break).  I had a hard time wanting to keep going after the potty break so decided to go on the shorter end of my workout range.  6:18 is the slow end of the "steady state" tempo range on the McMillan calculator when I input my last marathon, but my last marathon was sea level, so it shouldn't be surprising that it feels harder than a steady state should, given the altitude and the fact that it was my first tempo after the marathon.  Core workout in the pm

Met Josse at about mile 11 mark of the Hobbler Half, and we ran up and down the canyon.  Pace was really easy.  Wanted to make sure this run was easy because I get to run the Freedom Festival on Monday! 8:19 ave pace. Core workout in the PM Stadium of Fire at night.  Watch the fire burn higher and higher!
