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. |

| Ran .5 miles in the morning. Started the run with a pop in my left knee, then knee pain, I think behind the knee cap. I stopped after .1, stretched really well, then ran some more, didn't go away. So at .5, I turned around and walked to the car. There is no time to mess around with 19 days till marathon. Went to PT, they wanted more info on where the pain was, so I suggested me running on their tm, so I warmed up easy spin for 5 min, then 10 min easy on tm, no pain, just the knee weakness I have had for a month or two. So they worked the knee and my right ham for good measure. Did 10 min elliptical while jj did the cat litter this evening, and there was knee achiness, between the normal weakness and the morning pain. I am praying for no pain on Tuesday. |

Knee achiness when woke up. Walked about .5-.6 before slow-jog into the run. Had 1 min on/off fartleks on deck but only if knee felt just fine. And it did :) No pain, some weakness in the cooldown only. 3.77 miles in 30:05 warm up, stretching, then 15x 1 min on/off, averaged 5:43. I think it was supposed to be 10k pace, so that might be a bit under. 3.52 cool down in 27:56 4 miles in 30:12 in evening. Also ab workout, 80% of it was at my son's FB game, got some looks, a young girl asking her mom why I was exercising, and a teenager asking if I was a runner. Awkward.

Was up in Midway today. Stayed at Zermatt for my work retreat. Good news from yesterday, I was promoted to Tax Manager at my work. Anyhow, was supposed to do 16-18 with last 6 at marathon pace, as a dress rehearsal for my race in two weeks. But I am at a higher elevation up at Midway than even in SF, so I was nervous about keeping pace. I mapped out a course, but found out as I dropped water that about 3 miles out and back were dirt, which was fine for the out segment (easy miles) but not ok for back segment (marathon pace) so I had to modify the course. Morning was cold. 37 F at start. Work black knee highs on my arms, I thought it looked tres cool in a geeky runner sort of way. Should have had gloves too, but hands warmed up after three miles Ave pace for first 10 was 7:24. Went from downtown Midway through farm lands to the north then past the heber railroad area, down 1200 W to the highway, then started the marathon paced miles. Decided to do 6:20. I am so close to being able to do 2:46, will rehearse at that pace, and try for the OTQ if I am feeling excellent race day. Mile 1 - 6:17 (5591-5554- 37 ft drop), Mile 2 6:25(5554-5596 - 42 ft gain) feeling yuck, took a gu, Mile 3 6:15 (41 ft drop) had a water bottle at the beginning of this mile and grabbed it, running and drinking, gave me a slow start to the mile, Mile 4 6:14 (53 ft drop) feeling good, Mile 5 6:24 (76 ft gain, ugh), Mile 6 6:14 (20 ft elev gain). Hillier than my marathon will be, but not too bad (except for the fifth mile). Elevation a factor, felt more like 1/2 marathon pace, esp could feel wind suckage in mile 5. Felt good overall. PM: core workout
