Short-Term Running Goals: PR 1/2 marathon AGAIN
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. |

| 80 min, 17k at 4:42 ave pace. Tried to obey my coaches advice and just enjoy the run and not worry about pace. Core workout and weights. 4.75 pull ups :( Amber-not sure what a swinging pull up is, I just hang down then go up and that's one, and keep doing it till I cant any more. Sometimes I curl up my legs, esp on the last one, but they aren't swinging to give me momentum. |

| 7.74 miles in 61 min. Nice and easy. Left hip more sore than usual, maybe because of the treatment yesterday? You know you are massaged hard when you can't talk or if you do it's in a strained whisper. |

AM: watchless 5 miles
PM: 2 x 5k at HM pace. Nervous about this one going in. Did 6.14 warm up, stopping to stretch really well. Adductors are sore from weights on wednesday. Goal was to keep 3:49 for the first 5k, and 3:44 for the second. Reason being is I think 3:49 (around 6:08) might be the realistic pace for a half in current weather and 3:44 is pace per mcmillan calculator if I am in 2:46 pace. So had watch on 5k split, so I would only see the overall average to see how I liked it. It was fine for this workout. In the first 5k I felt good, focused on running relaxed and at a sustainable fast pace. Ended up 18:35, 3:43 ave pace. Then 1 mile at easy pace (7:22) then started the second 5k. Was helped greatly by a young man who did not want to get passed (he was on a bike) and who stayed right ahead of me for the last half of this 5k. Got an 18:19, 3:40/k. Felt so good, but in cool down realized I lost my octopus card (how you pay for the metro) so turned around and looked for it a bit, never found it, so cool down was longer than the 30 min max (33:02, 6.73k). |

| Had to do some notarization of documents at the US consulate, so did my 80 min run after that on the Island on Bowen Road. Since had hard long one last night and hard long one tomorrow morning decided to take this absolutely easy with no push. Which gave me 10.13 in 80 min. Saving abs and weights for tomorrow. |

AM: Met Jane for a long run on the Island. She took me on a quite hilly-nonhilly run, which included some lovely trail. I needed 20-22 miles with 6-8 miles at the end at marathon pace. So I opted for 12k at marathon pace (7.46 miles) which gave me three stretches of Bowen Road, which is marked every .5 k so I could track pace well. Felt good during tempo. Will record splits for posterity: 3:49, 4:00, 3:54, 7:43 for two (includes turn around and water, but no stopping), 3:57, 3:55, 7:47 (includes turn around and water but no stopping), 3:53, 3:52, 3:49. so 3:54 ave pace (wanted 3:55, but would have been satisfied with 4:00 given the weather. Temperature was 25c and humidity in the 70's.
PM: weights, core and 40 min run on the TM. |
