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. |

| 10.26 easy @ 8:07 ave pace. I felt fairly sore at the start, but the run helped shake some of it out. Now I just feel some faint residual soreness. I want to go out and run hard tomorrow but I am guessing my body's not ready for it. weight 122

AM: 12.38 total. My legs felt pretty good yesterday after my run, and I was feeling edgy to get back out on the road for some speed, so I decided to meet Steve K, Darin C, and Carl. They were doing 6x2 min on/1.5 min off, then 2x1 mile. All my times/paces are off garmin so they are only approximate. Gives you an idea, though. Warmed up 3.4
1 - 2:00 (no split for this one, I forgot to start garmin), stayed with Steve and Carl for the first one, they were chatting, but by the first half I was working 2 - 2:03 (.37, 5:36 pace), sticking with Darin, they're taking their rest at 8-9 min pace, fast for between intervals for me 3 - 2:02 (.35, 5:48 pace) 4 - 2:00 (.33, 6:09 pace) 5 - 2:01 (.36, 5:34 pace) 6 - 2:00 (.36, 5:30 pace) rested 6:06, a little longer than planned because someone had to hit the bushes and it wasn't me! 1 - 5:55 mile, Darin pushed the beginning, I pushed the middle, then he pushed the end, Steve King and Carl were behind us to start and Steve caught us with about 5 sec to go 4 min rest 2 - 6:03, felt like a death march, on south part of SF main street, past the rodeo, trying to keep legs turning over (they feel like bricks at this point), I let Darin pull away at about .5, but then we turn toward Bishops Storehouse and the wind hits, us, I surge so that I can draft off him, I finish probably 2-3 sec behind him. I felt like not doing the workout after the second 2 minute bit, but I held on pretty good. I ended up with pretty tired legs, probably because of Saturdays race.

| way easy slow run. I gave myself the nickname road slug in honor of this run. I ran 4 miles with MacK in the middle, our first run in 3 months together. Those were some of my fastest miles.

| I got to bed late last night (yes I am going to blame Paul), Paul wanted to watch the news. I got in bed around 10:45 and by that time I was stressed because I needed to wake up at 4:25. I noticed my breathing was rapid as I was trying to fall asleep. I was stressed and anxious--GOTTA SLEEP NOW! GOTTA SLEEP NOW! Well, that approach seldom works. At 11:15 I got up and took two benadryl. They made me groggy but I still has wrestless sleep, with two distinct dreams. On to the run, I felt like death starting my run. Dr. Brady advised me to not do speed today since he worked my hamstring over yesterday, but when you set up a workout to be paced by a guy who's kind enough to do it, you don't want to back out. So combine a tight/sore hamstring with grogginess (Josse can attest I really woke up halfway through our 9 mile run) and I am not feeling like tempoing the end of this 22 miler. I ran with Josse for 9.2, then met up with a crew at Sashas. I warned Sasha I was feeling foul, so he suggested a 4 mile tempo at the end. We started off slow, but once it was Derek, Jeff, Sasha and I, we dropped to 7:15-7:30 pace. Then after 6 miles with these guys, Derek peels off, and Sasha declares we will start my tempo and it will be 6 miles. After a couple of quarters at a slower pace (6:45-7) I was wondering if the tempo was really starting. I tried to keep the effort marathon pace, sustainable and comfortable, 1:36 became the standard split after 2 miles. The turnaround point was about where my hamstring started to feel more sore, and I wanted to quit at 4 miles, but I just kept plugging away quarter after quarter, until we had only one mile to go. Sasha challenged me to get a 3:10 last 1/2 mile and I got a 3:01, with a nice kick at the end. My legs felt like they were going to fall off, and I had 21.43 on the watch so I had a small cooldown. I appreciate Jeff and Sasha for pacing me on the tempo. They're great to do this for those of us who are brave enough to let them. I bought a bag of ice on the way home and brought the temperature to 52F in the bath for my ice bath today. Very cold! weight 121 (after a banana and some powerade even!). |

medium long run with the SF group. I ran with Ali, Hal and Tara for six miles, then Hal, Doug and Ali, then just Doug around the golf course, then TylerS for .25, then by myself for a little. It's nice to not have to do a long-long run today. I'll be running the Payson 10K on Monday for a nice tempo workout. If I'm feeling good I'll try to do 6:00 pace, if its raining or I'm tired I'll have to adjust. ave pace 8:07 weight 122 ice bath
