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.

AM: slept in til 7am, then warmed up 3.47 miles and stretching.  Started tempo at Payson Onion Days 10k start (approx) and went along course for 2.5 miles.  Was going to do 5 miles but my assigned tempo was 4-5, so I ended up just doing 4.  I need to talk to my coach, because my steady state tempos seem too hard, maybe because I am going off San Diego RNR time and here we are at altitude?  Splits on the tempo were:6:25, 6:17, 6:19, 6:18, so 6:20 ave pace.  11.76 total miles.

PM: core workout and evening run. 5 miles in 7:41, way faster than recovery pace, but it was hot outside and just wanted to get it done.  Had a kid party at night where we played night games.  I ran so hard in capture the flag and kick the can.  I am surprised I didn't get myself injured.  It was great fun, though.

Red Hot Pink Chicks 1/2 marathon fun run this morning.  I ran 16 with a relaxed pace 8:14.Alas, my rainbow rooster has flown away to greener pastures in SF.  At least I got to sign it's orange glitter butt to prove I won it once upon a time.  So nice to run with friends and to have an excuse to spray paint my hair pink.

PM: core workout.  Ran with Mack in the evening 5 miles. We were both watchless!
