Long-Term Running Goals: Break 2:46 in Boston! 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. |

Do I get to write on the blog if I haven't run today? Is this a sign that I am a serious blog addict?
My legs are so sore! Quads are the worst, then hamstrings, calves are mildly sore and I even feel a little soreness in my lower back and abdomen. I guess I worked everything except my arms.
I forgot I wasn't supposed to go in the hot tub after the marathon and went in for a good 20 minutes Saturday afternoon. I guess that wouldn't help.
I think I will just go out tomorrow morning and see how it feels to do a little jog. I have a 60 minute massage scheduled for tomorrow evening. The 15 minute massage right after the marathon was so heavenly. So I got Paul (my husband, not any of you other Paul's out there) to try to give me a massage, and I guided him on what to do based off the volunteer-massager's moves. It turned out to be totally hilarious because if I said harder he would add 40 lbs of pressure, and if I said softer he would use his fingertips, then I would tell him to move my leg and he would start turning it in circles. We were both rolling because the massage attempt was so pathetic. I still think it probably did some good. But he better not quit his day-job. |

| Ran, or shuffled is probably more accurate, 2 miles easy this morning. I shuffled for 100 yards, then let myself walk while figuring out my mp3 player, then jogged some more, stretched at .5 miles (hamstrings seemed to be what was holding me back while jogging). 12:03 first mile! My legs had moments, just moments, of feeling better in the second mile. Mile 2 10:53! I think I am not ready to jump into training. |

| Easy run, ended up averaging exactly 9 minutes/mile. Walked and stretched after running. My quads are still quite tight and made it hard to keep them moving, but there has been dramatic improvement since Tuesday. I am hoping to feel good enough by Saturday to get in 12 miles. |

1:11:06, no garmin today.
Ran in SF at a nice pace, stopping often to socialize. It's nice to not have to get in 20 miles so I actually can stop without getting stressed about the time.
