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 easy up Goosenest road toward Payson and then got lost in Payson. Wierd that I could lose my bearings and not know that I was running north when I thought I was running east. Soon I course-corrected and found my way back. |

I didn't wear a gps! I woke up early to get in a mile or two before the SF group meets, and I tried to run fast during that time because I realized the loop I chose was probably a little too long to meet the group promptly at 5am. Good thing the group is usually tardy forming! I probably got in two before the group started then 7 during the group run. We started slow but me and speedy picked up the pace for the second half, then we found Tom in the riverbottoms and ran with him for two miles. 1:17 total time.
Ab workout in afternoon. It is so hard to motivate myself to do this so I am going to start making myself accountable by logging it. |

Ran 10.82 with speedy ER girl. 8:06 ave pace. I am happy that 8 minute pace has become my new "easy" pace. It is still hard to talk in complete sentences, depending on the elevation change in a given mile, and the pace of each mile varies, but it is great to be able to fit in 10 miles in 80 minutes instead of 90. I hope to be able to keep up that pace as it gets colder, which means I'll have to get in a little better shape since cold can slow down your pace. |

Yeah Baby! My marathon recovery is now complete. It felt so good to do my first interval workout, even though it was a set of long intervals: 3x1.5 miles at 10K goal pace.
It was Tom, Jamie, Speedy A and I. We warmed up just over 2.5 and started our first over toward Leland. We did basically the same stretch, switching directions. The 1.5 mile stretch is like a rolling hill, so each direction has uphill the first half and downhill the second. The uphill is like a realistic race uphill, not steep enough for hill repeats or to slow you down too much, but you sure feel it. The downhill is similar, enough to help, but not enough to help a whole lot. Speedy A is just starting to run with us and hasn't done alot of speed, so during the intervals it was basically Tom, Jamie and I.
1 - 9:54 (6:36 pace, this is actually my 10K goal pace), held back because I knew I had two more ahead of me
.51 rest, 5:09
2 - 9:41 (6:27 pace) started more agressively then just held pace
.5 rest, not sure time, got my watch off a little
3 - 9:31 (6:21 pace) the first mile was a 6:30 and then booked it for the last half mile. I truthfully thought Tom was trying to catch me and I wasn't going to let him. (He beat me on the first two reps, but its the last one that counts ;) ). My legs felt strong and I felt pretty euphoric on this last one.
I felt almost like chucking after the last one, but just felt so much better than the tempos. We were lucky that the water fountains at the ball park were still on. It is great to have mild weather relative to the time of year.

Did Abominal Abdominal workout this afternoon. Penance for eating kids chocolate halloween candy. |

Josse, Amber and I hooked up with Tom for the middle of his long run. I didn't get enough sleep last night and felt pretty sick through the night, so I think I am still fighting some type of sinus infection or cold. I worked on running slow enough to talk in full sentences, and was mostly successful, but sometimes had to talk really fast :) We looped around the SF golf course and got a nice dose of SF wind, but thankfully it was contained to the areas closest to the canyon.
Goal with Halloween candy: not eat any all day, and if I succeed up to the evening then I can have two pieces of chocolate when the kids go to bed and Paul and I put on a movie.
Ab workout in the evening.
Was good with the halloween candy during the day but ate four chocolates when watched the movie at night.
8:05 ave pace

8:07 ave pace. Ran with the SF group. I thought I would be able to slow it down some for this long run, but speedy ER girl and Amber came and there was a good group of 7 or so who ran 8 min ave pace for several miles. Hal and ER girl were the only ones to run the whole way, and Hal was as talkative as ever, though we did have some good discussions where he got drawn in, so that was nice. It's too bad he can't train in the morning during the week. We slowed it down toward the end. It sure got cold in the Salem farm country this morning. It was just a shadow of things to come. . .
