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. |

Warmed up 6.26k (5:05 pace/128bpm), did 17 fast bits but then had to go to the bathroom. I was trying to keep the rest at a good clip, I told myself it was more like a tempo run with gear changes, so fast bits averaged 4:06 pace and slow 4:49, then I took a bathroom break, and since I took a break I made myself do 6 more reps, which averaged 3:38 for the fast and 5:18 for the slow. It was my dad's birthday so I ran out to the Carls Jr where he hangs out in the mornings. Apparently his dad used to hang out at Burger King. Maybe I will hang out at Taco Bell when I get old :/ Started the exodus home.

Got home 2:30am, asleep by 3:15am, very swollen because I have lost my compression socks in the US, not sure if I could run in the morning but woke up with the swelling much reduced woke up at 8:40 am but didn't get out the door to run until 9:35. Miserable little run around Kowloon Tsai, did the hill repeats (6 x 12 seconds) but hands were swollen and I did them more as strides with an attempt at good form

| felt good, considering the weather, got out 2 hours earlier than yesterday, so that is progress. Started at 7:15am. Ran the back side of Ma On Shan loop to the "chilled" water fountain and back, 11k each way. Splits and hr were: 24:55 (139), 25:51 (149), 24:54 (147), 24:57 (144), 10:27 (153). Took an ANS gu at 11k, and tried to buy a pocari at 16k but the machine was out, so bought a drink that ended up having tea in it so threw it away after a sip. Felt crummy in last 2k, the heat was getting to me, and the worst part was dragging my delirious butt from the MTR to my flat. Despite downing a pocari at the end of the run, I almost fainted/hyperventilating the last minute of MTR ride
