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.

Woke up just before 2am to Paul's extremely hurty stomach.  He blacked out, so we put him in an ambulance and went to the ER.  Got out of the ER at 5:15.  Was supposed to meet Mack at 5:30, but couldn't get back in time. Had a PT appt and work today, so I dropped Paul off at home and drove into Payson.  Ran up Payson Canyon three miles with Aubrey, Beth and Jaime.  Felt ok at the start of my run but was dragging toward the end.  3.5 hours of sleep is not sufficient.

 Plan was 4-5 5 min on / 3 min off @ 10k pace, so I did just 4 since I've been so dead tired.  Got good sleep last night but the prior night was still with me a bit.

Warmed up 3.44 in 28:32, including potty and some stretching, then did workout. MacK was with me, doing a different fartlek workout, and Tyler joined for .25 of the first interval, but dropped off due to pain in the knee.  Pace for the four were 5:56 (uphill), 5:43 (downhill), 5:50 (flat), 5:53 (flat).  Got it done. 3.31 cool down

PM: 5.1 miles in 40:00, core workout, rolling (hurts like a mother)

Ran 7 miles on the TM.  Boring.  Legs were tired to start, 7.0 felt fast.  Eased into 8.2 or 8.3 pace, 53 min for 7 miles.

Hiked the Tipanooke to Emerald Lake hike up on Mt. Timpanogas.  It was beautiful, but I was so concerned about how the hike would affect my Saturday run I am afraid I didn't enjoy it as much as I should have.  I didn't want to hike it, but did it to support the hubby and his fat camp initiatives.  It was 13 miles and we did it in about 7.5 hours, including breaks.  I was so tired by the end, not so much in the legs, but "let me crawl into fetus position and take a nap in this dirt here" tired, from waking up early and hard training this week.  Naps are awesome.  Wish I would have had one.

Met with spanish fork guys. They pretty much schooled me.  We started off easy, but they started popping out 7:00ish miles, and I pulled back, still got a couple of sub 7:00 miles so I'll count 4 marathon pace. 7:25 ave pace total.  Legs felt fine--no bad effects from yesterday. Iced afterward.
