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.

Walked 1.25 with family, slow and easy. Since I fasted I made some low fat brownies, which ended up being 228 cal per brownie, and I ate two of them, but Paul and I decided it would be best for them to be a little more fatty (and thus yummy) and to eat less of it.

3.02 of walking, 14:41 ave pace, 14:29 in mile 3.  Can you tell my arms were cocked?  I felt like I could go faster, and did at times, but tried to keep it smooth to minimize impact on joints.  I saw KellieS and KellyB on the Canal Road, I count on seeing friends every morning and would be sad not too.

I have my brother and his wife coming to visit tomorrow through Saturdayish, and my mom, grandma and aunt joining wednesday through saturdayish, so I have some laundry and shopping to do!

3.13 @ 13:47 ave pace.  I dreamt last night that I pigged out on naughty food, and that I walked a 5k race.  I did walk a 5k this morning, but I am not going to pig out on naughty food.  My fridge is packed with fruit!  We are making a carrot cake w/pineapple in it for my brother Adam, who lives in Colorado and is visiting.  I will have a very small slice?  Hopefully we will be taking a hike today.

1.5 mile hike, 53 minutes, up and down switchbacks above WH.

Walked about 1.75.  Went to Teppanyaki yesterday, and it was not very diet friendly.  I ate the onion soup, a couple of bites of the salad, beef and veggies, skipped the rice.  Running around like crazy.  I hope to do a walk with my mom today.

15 min pool jogging, screamed for joy like an idiot when I saw Marion and David come into the pool area, then chewed her ear off for some time.  We talked for 10 minutes and fit in an hour of conversation, if you can imagine the two of us together, talking that fast and furious has got to count for some cross training.  Then walked 3.37.  I can't remember the time.

Walked 5 miles with my brother Adam in the SF river bottoms in 77 minutes, or 15:24, approx.  

 We also did the Timp caves, so steep 1.5 hike each way, it was hard, but no pain other than dull difference in sides that is very much typical right now.

Ate a Reuben from Gandolfos for lunch :(  I have been bad, but I sure like that sandwich :)))))
