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. |

AM: 7k run in the am, felt gross, a bit dizzy at the beginning, perhaps a side effect of taking a whole ambien the night before. I took it 8.5 hours before my wake up time so I am not sure why it effected me. A bit tired during the day. PM: Met coach before my workout. My vo2max is 53.2 and one other output number was 96.4 and some lactate number was 10.2 (I think, it was above 10), and I got to 91% max heartrate and my maximum heartrate is estimated at 180. My coach said that the results means my half is between 1:19:30-1:20:30. I feel like I have 1:20:30 in me. I would love to break 1:20 on a flat course--have never done that. Alison Chow, the HKer I train with and the top marathoner (2:48) got 54 and outscored me on the other items as well. She was there and I mentioned that I thought she needed some more aggression, to be more carnivorous. Then coach told her to lead the odds and me the evens on our fartlek. She is typically slower than me in speed workouts, but she took our feedback to heart and pushed me on half of the ones I was supposed to lead. The goal pace for the fartlek fast bits was 3:40. After 20 min warm up, we did the following paces (the first two were messed up-my watch shows them way fast, I will put an A by the ones Ali led, M by mine): 3:43 (A-uphill), 3:24(M - downhill), 3:25 (A-flat, the rest are flat), 3:31(M), 3:32 (A), 3:40 (M), 3:33 (A), 3:35 (M), 3:39 (A), 3:34 (M), 3:37 (A), 3:33 (M), 3:35 (A), 3:26 (M) I averaged 3:33 if you don't include the downhill one, 3:34 if you don't include the last one (me showing her who's boss). She averaged 3:34, 3:33, if you don't include the last one, so I guess that makes us just about even doesn't it (but who is counting, right?)

Ran very easy 10.03k run, 5:15 pace out, 4:59 pace back. Sang some songs while running, though I did have that dizzy feeling the first half of the run. Skipped strides. Did core in the am, since it is Halloween. And what a Halloween gift! It was 19C, cool enough to keep my tank on!

| Ran a 30 min tempo with Ali. Warmed up 28.5 minutes (5.7k) then did 7.78k in 3:51 ave/k. I pulled away from Ali after about 4k, but then I had to go to the bathroom so bad the last couple of k she caught up. At least I avoided any awkward incidents! Cooled down 6.23k. 19.71k total PM: 7.68k at 5:02/k ave pace |

| Ran 6.5 way out in Tsueng Kwan O where there were some nice bike trails, but it seemed a little like a ghost town and it was sunny and I didn't have sunglasses or my visor. Looking around for raspsberry lemonade afterward in vain. I am helping with a baby shower and getting the ingredients is a pain! | |
