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. |

Hooked up (ok that doesn't sound right), MET the resident south valley amazon goddess and we went a-biking, a-walking, a-running. She approved my impulse purchase of dishes. It is so hard to spend money. I went to Ikea yesterday and stress-bought a set of 18 basic white dishes, a pot set, and a couple of kitchen gadgets I have never had, including a steamer basket (I know--how lame, I've only been married for 13.5 years and have never been able to properly steam vegetables). Anyway, Marion approves, and Paul approves, so I decided to unwrap the goods and actually keep what I bought. We did 2.5ish, then 5 running, then a bit more, about 7.98 total. I had to change to street clothes at Marion's home and weighed myself at her home (I like her scale). While I was in the bathroom, she made me hot chocolate (how sweet) and offered me lots of food (do you want a string cheese? it'll give you protein. How about some sweet potatoes). I accepted an apple and went on my way. Volunteered in JJ's kindie class, man it's a zoo, and I think it will take some practice trying to herd the cats. Then grocery shopping, didn't buy any bad things to eat even though I was way hungry. Will go to Mickie's class soon to do a craft project. We are turning acorns into little pumpkins. Today we get them orange, then Thursday I go back and we put green stems and the jack o lantern faces on. They are so cute. Will do a modest elliptical workout this afternoon (meaning not trying to kill myself). PM 30 min mediumish elliptical workout and ab workout (abs take me about 30 minutes)

| Walked 1.75, stretched, ran 6 miles with MacK (8:12 ave) then walked 2.25 to make 10 miles total. Second day of strange foot pain. On right foot, on top toward toes 2 & 3, pain lasts for about 5-10 seconds, radiates then dissipates. It happens every 5 or 10 min, so not continuous, which makes me think it might be neurological. |

| AM: Decided to do ab workout in the morning first (this is all after kids go off to school). Definitely, Maybe (the movie) was on so I did my abs while watching the movie. Marion comes over and witnesses the sloth and indolence --a romantic comedy in the morning--what's with me? I then walk on the treadmill 1.72 and chat with Marion til she has to motor. Then I called some clients, then went outside. Walked 3, then ran 4 (7:37 ave pace, uphill mile in there), was kind of pressed for time, then walked 1.3, so I got my 10 miles in for today. Love the weight, but it comes on the heels of two days of stomach issues, I have been counting calories, but haven't been able to keep my calories as low as I'd like because of stomach upset (my stomach hurts--I should eat some more food, I know the logic isn't quite there), so good weight but assisted by some evacuation. |

Oops! Was supposed to run 6 and accidentally ran 7 miles, 8:11 pace ave, the good news is it felt like 6 miles and our fastest miles were at the end. It must have been MacK's sparkling personality that kept me going. 13.12 total, about 2:19 total. My first 1/2 marathon in a row since AS issues. Foot still hurts, but will pulse in and out, and hurts when I just sit at the computer, or watch a movie, just as much as when I run. Yesterday it only hurt maybe 5 times the whole day, but today its more active. Lower back hurt last night. I used my at home elec stimulator on my back and my foot last night. PM: ab workout. Rotating, did 4x2.5 min plank on swiss ball, 3x1.5min each side side plank on ball, 2x5 pike exercise Marion showed me on the ball, with risk of head trauma, but all is well and 3x55 crunches on ball. Took me about 40 minutes (more than one Dallas Divas and Daughters show). Felt very hungry after this and went to Village Inn and had their fruit and grain pancakes with sugar free syrup and a side of egg whites.
