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. |

| 3.2 mile warm up in 25 min, then 10 x 1 min on/off. Normally my min on/offs are at 10k pace, but this was supposed to be slightly faster than 5k pace. Passed a mean dog barking at me in the road on the way out, so knew I would face him on the way back. Ave pace for fast segments was 5:18 for the fast segments. Cooled down 15 min. Total miles 7.97. Core workout in evening. Watched my son's soccer game in the evening, sitting on grass, right SI started to hurt, stood up, changed positions. When I stood up it hurt bad, maybe a 5 - 6 for a couple of minutes. I walked to the car, and it felt almost completely better by the time I can got to the car, and then it was totally better by the time I got home. |

Peaking is awesome, can I just say? Did track workout: 3x2000m @ w/ goal pace 5:48-6:00, then 3x 200m w/ goal of 33-36 sec. Have committed to daylight track workouts, so was planning on starting workout at 8:45 after kids got off to school. At 7:40 realized I had a work appt at 10am, so Paul graciously got the kids off to school and I booked it down to the track, with my make up, clothes, etc for work in the car. Thus did shorter warm up, 2.1 in 17 min, including a couple of strides, good stretching. Switched to marathon shoes. Every 2000m I jumped out too fast (1:24 for first two, 1:26 I think for the last one), times for the 2000m were 7:18 (2:29 rest), 7:18 (2:28 rest), 7:20 (3:45 rest), then 200m: 34.02 (1:19 rest), 34.78 (1:31 rest), 33.73, 15 min cool down 9 miles total Core workout in the evening

| 6.68 in 7:29 ave pace, 50 min running. Cleaned the house all day because had a party for Paul's students. Had fun playing rock band and apples to apples with them. There was lots of bad food I couldn't eat. But I was strong. I haven't had any sweets/treats/bad snacky stuff for a week. Haven't had soda in two weeks. |

| Second dress rehearsal for the marathon. Was about 52, probably less than 50 on Zephyr. I didn't have arm warmers, it probably would have been fine if I was doing marathon pace the whole time, but was a bit cold for the easy miles. 6.15 easy. Started with MacK and Ali, then met Beth and Aub on Zephyr. I ran a pretty flat second for the 6 miles at marathon pace. I wish I could say that 6:20 felt totally comfortable, it was at times, but was harder to keep pace at other times. I tried to focus not only on doing 6:20 pace, but being efficient and confortable at that pace. I'd say mile 3 was the worst. Went to the bathroom at the beginning of mile 5, didn't stop my watch--part of the realistic marathon experience. Here's my splits. All miles were net flat (basically): 6:17, 6:18, 6:18, 6:16, 6:24 (including potty break--must have been quick ;D ), 6:17. 6:18.6 ave pace. |
