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. |

AM: walked 2.5 miles before going grocery shopping. PM: met Marion and she towed her two youngens on her bike while I walked/ran. 5.33 running bit--slow. Then stretching in her kitchen. I am not limber. "I am glad I have hinges or else I would crack." Nice primary song about AS. The lyricist didn't know he was writing about AS, but he was.

Wore hr monitor, mostly hovered between 150 and 165, peaked at 170. Later AM: Walked 1.1, then ran 5.15, ave pace for run was 7:48. Lovely and sunny and in the 50's. I was on the Provo River Trail. |

| Met MacK bright and early. We walked 1 then stretched right in front of a church door which was locked, and in front of a guy waiting in his car. It was probably 5 or more degrees warmer right by the door, so I insisted on giving this guy a show. Then we ran one mile easy. I wanted to start the tempo after we got off Zephyr hill at about 5.5 on the SF 1/2 marathon and go to mile marker 4 and turn around, for a more flat course, but MacK only wanted 5 miles total running, so we had to start the tempo earlier, at about 6.15 ont he SF 1/2 marathon course, went down Zephyr in mile 1, then flatish, about to the 4.6ish area of the SF course. Splits are by garmin (my old garmin, which likes to measure miles long). Wore my HR monitor to gather data. Hate wearing that thing. 1 - 6:54 flatish except down Zephyr hill (.1 mile long), 160 bpm (is this average, this is the number my garmin is giving when I look at this lap in the history) 2 - 6:39 flatish, has some grade changes but nets zero because 180 turn halfway through, 167 hr 3 - 6:49 flatish except Zephyr hill from .6-.7, just tried not to stay strong uphill then last .3 mile, fighting need to go bathroom and wanting to finish strong, two competing forces :/ Very very happy! I was hoping to go 7:15, 6:59, 6:59 on flat course, so very pleased to do a bit better than that. Now this makes me want to race. . . Afterward met back w/Mack, ran 2 easy back to her car, then saw KellieS and the Heidi's and walked with them a bit, bothered Clay, then walked some more. Whole morning 11 miles. Will do abs later. |

Food last night: artichoke dip, sundried tomato-pine nut-pesto-cream cheese dip, shrimp dip, slushy punch, straight coke, homemade rolls, italian soup, chicken and white bean chili, kale and squash soup, curry soup, tres leches cake, lemon cake, chocolate cake, dipped goodies from the chocolate fountain (and I just listed the things I ate). A big thanks to everyone for cooking up a storm for the party. It was great to get together, as always. I weighed in under 130 today for the first time in half a year. I was so shocked I weighed myself again to make sure the scale didn't make a mistake, but same: 129.8. I feel downright sheepish. Slept in, walked 5 miles, stretched, brought the kids home from their primary program practice, changed into shorts, went back out. Walked .5, more stretching, then ran 8.5 miles at 7:54 ave pace. Felt great! So 14 miles total and didn't even get home until after noon. Did more stretching at home. Talk about wasting my day away. I heard back from my prospective coach, Tom, who has coached Paul Petersen, and he said there's no need to hire him until I am in the 40's for a month, to just get in mileage and lots of stretching (he did mention the dreaded four letter Y word, Marion :/). Kind of bummed out because I am ready to go mentally, but not ready to go physically. Need more base. Does that mean no tempo miles???? It felt so good to tempo this week. What a high.
