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. |

Was going to sleep in, but no, I woke up at 4:30, laid in bed for 15 minutes, realized I wasn't going back asleep, so I got up. Spent 15 minutes trying to download general conference. I have it downloaded now, but need to get it on the mp3 player. Anyway, eventually got outside. Walked 2.15, then nice long stretch session, then ran 6.05 (ave pace 8:09), then walked to make the total experience 9.05. Got home, decided to hop on the elliptical to get in my needed aerobic, did 15 minutes, felt way weak. Will do abs tonight.

| AM: Walked 1.36 miles then went to PT. SI has been feeling good, just a little niggly after tempo last week and marathon cleaning session last week. Now it feels good. Rt ham is still buggy, don't feel it too much, just when stretching it is tight in the middle and hurty at top. Did e-stim, ultrasound, massage, a stym, then exercises: total body stretching in cage, total body gym lunges, then ham lunges with 5# weights in each hand. PM: walked 2.35 with husband, then went out for run. .56 walking, stretching then 6.15 running at 7:49 ave pace. If I'm not approved to tempo, then I'll run my runs mediumish pace. I figure my current marathon pace, if I could possibly do a marathon right now, is about 7:15. I would guess my 10K is about 6:55, and 5k pace would be 6:40. These are just my guestimates and don't mean much anyway because I FEEL myself getting stronger every day, like the hulk when he gets mad. Watch out. I am hungry and on running bread and water (meaning no speed). At least my fast is over :DDDD total for day 10.42 Will do abs during AMERICAS NEXT TOP MODEL, the classiest show on air!!! |

| Slept in. Realized when I woke up that my hamstrings were tight and sore, must be from the new hamstring lunges I did yesterday. Went out at 8:30. It was warm but windy. So only one thing to do, start into the wind. Walked one mile, nice long stretching, then started running. Really slow until I turned around and had a nice tailwind. 8:10 ave pace. Marion came over after noon, and I walked 3.5 miles plus did 3 minutes of the elliptical. So 10.5 miles total plus a whopping 3 minutes cross training. Then we did a nice long stretching session, yogaesque, but not quite there. I am easing into the idea. . . |

| Walked 2, then ran 7 with MacK. 9.2 miles altogether. Would have done abs this evening but had more important things to do (Marion can you guess what?). |

| Met MacK at 7am. Walked a mile, then stretched, then ran 9.24, then I was on my own, walking almost 4 miles to get back to my car. 14 miles total. I looked at my gps after I was done exercising to see my running pace. I told myself, it was probaby 8:20 ave, because it was snowing and the run felt so long. But, the ave pace was 7:59, sweet. We were cruising ;D I have to do abs today because I skipped yesterday, but today will make three sessions. I bought 5# weights for my hamstring lunges this morning. Have to do those too. I felt sheepish buying weights so small. |
