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. |

| Slow easy run. I can feel my sores as I start my run when I strike on that side. I feel tired and want to quit in the first 5k. Seeing a gweipor (white chick) in the park perks me up due to an unreasonable competitiveness gene I inherited. So I sped up. Pace first 5k: 5:14, 2nd 5k: 4:46, out of the park and out of the gweipor's influence, my pace slips to 5:02 pace for the last 1.78k. Went to my rheum appt and mentioned my bug bites. He asks to see and says that it is shingles, that it is not uncommon for people taking Humira to get shingles. It sounds like a dirty disease, but there you go. I got antiviral meds from him. I read up on shingles when I got home and looked at pics online which do not look like my rash much, so I go to our medical clinic to get a second opinion. The doc there confirms the diagnosis, lets me know that the meds will likely keep me lethargic, and gives me an antiviral cream as well. So that explains why I was so tired on Saturday evening and on Sunday, and possibly why I didn't feel so well in my workout. | |

I slept in. Then spent 7 hours taking care of renewing our visas. Met Ali and Coach Paul and the other athletes at HKSI. I had informed him beforehand of my illness. My workout was already not that hard (200, 400, 600, 800, 1000,800,600,400,200) so we just backed off the goal splits a bit. Lots of rest because of heat/humidity and the nature of the workout. 4.74 warm up at 5:01/k. Splits were 40 (2:10), 83, (2:25), 2:03 (2:11), 2:43 (3:23), 3:25 (4:20), 2:44 (4:05), 1:58 (3:13), 77 (3:39), 35 5.34k cool down I felt not so strong, but was glad to be able to show up, support Ali, interact with coach, and get in some decent speed.
