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. |

No pain.
Alrighty. Went to my rheumatologist again today. He said that I have AS, that I never had a stress reaction from running, but it was a symptom of AS. He said I have alot of liquid around my knees and feet, and some bone damage in my feet, active arthritis--he mentioned I had a SID or SED level of 10 the last time I was in, where 1-2 is no big deal, I think that's a measure of your inflammation, but I don't understand the scale or what this really means, and I wished I had asked so if anyone can translate I'd be grateful. He said that I handle my pain well, for that rate, that I'm not a whiner! We only experience our own pain so it's hard to know if you are a whiner or not, and I suspected I was a HUGE one, so to be placed on the other end of the scale by a medical profession made my day. Almost makes up for the bummer diagnosis! He's putting me on Diclofenac, and said it takes three weeks to start reducing inflammation so he said no exercise for three weeks, and to pay attention to my body (like that my weeding for 15 min shouldn't have made me ache like it did and to back off fast if I feel that way). He did say that anything less than full functionality would be an unacceptable result in todays day and age, and that he wouldn't be suprised to see me at the OTQ. He says there's no medication in between the NSAIDS and the expensive Embrel type meds (other than meds that only work in a small minority of AS patients), so I'll be verifying that as part of my research. I do think I will seek a second opinion, since being on prescriptions, esp expensive prescriptions, may be in my future for decades to come.
I have a trip to Bear Lake at the end of August. For months I have been saying, I'll be running by the trip to Bear Lake. If I start walking/crosstraining at the end of July, perhaps I will be able to run for that trip. Thanks to you who still read my non-running blog. I'd be a basket case without your support.

| 0-1 pain, went to Utah Symphony for our date night. Paul was being goofy the whole time, when we were supposed to clap Paul clapped to the beat of his own drum, but he gave it a fancy name called syncopation. Had a couple of really light twinge pains as I tossed and turned at night. I was stressed and dreamt about missing my alarm and the RHPC 1/2 but woke up at 4am just fine. |
