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.

Ran approx 11.5k in the morning. Then we went wakeboarding.  I had so much fun.  It was my first time successfully wakeboarding behind a boat.  I did four major faceplants so my neck (whole body really) was quite sore.  Core workout in the pm.  Sore!

Went to Aberdeen for a morning track workout, because it is a national holiday. Did breakfast with some afterward because it is Kate's birthday! Fun to hang out with so many running friends.

 The workout is not really "hard", just 12 x 400m, with the 3rd, 7th, and 11th ones "hammered" or much faster.  

4 miles warm up

splits for the 400's were: 82, 83, 74, 81, 82, 81, 73, 81, 82, 79, 75, 80, then 4k cool down

did 7k as part of a JJ run.  He ran really well, and I ran during his breaks.
