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 with TAJJ (Tom, Amber, Jamie, Josse) this morning. I was running on empty from undereating and undersleeping yesterday. I think my stress is catching up to me and I better baby myself a little more of I am going to crash and burn.
I didn't feel good during the run. Kind of tingly and lightheaded. Usually I get this nich runners high and get all jazzed about running but right now I just feel like crawling back into bed, so I think I will.

Ab workout.

Met up with the SF group, but did some miles early with Tom. Today is the run before the crack of dawn so I can also go grocery shopping before the kids wake up morning. This plan worked well when I was running 7 miles on Tuesday, but now that I am trying to get ten in a day the early morning gets even earlier. Amber said she'd join me next week before 5am so that will be good. About 1/2 way through the river bottoms I asked Amber and Tom if they were up for striders, and they agreed to do some. The rest of the SF group bawked at the idea. We were kind of on training wheels, didn't really track seconds or distance (my gps was dead anyway), but I think they were 20-30 seconds each. I didn't even keep a good count of how many we did, but I think it was 4-5. We focused on form, and I guess that worked ok. I don't think I know what perfect running form is, but I tried to focus on efficiency and effectiveness of my movement. Hmmm.
Like I said, no gps watch so I had to guess the distance.
Ab workout.

After laying in bed listening to my son cough in his sleep for an hour, I thought, "The best thing for my running is for me to get another hour of sleep, but since that isn't happening, the next best thing would be to get in a couple of extra miles." So I rolled out of bed and threw on the running gear.
Boy it was colder this morning. I would say the coldest morning yet. About 28F (shows what a wuss I am, it will get much colder soon).
I met McKenzie and Amber in Salem after a couple of miles and we got nice and lost in Payson--well, I was lost but McKenzie knew her way around and led us back. It's great to have good running buddies to share workouts with.

Met with TJ and did a tempo workout. I wanted to keep it at threshold-1/2 marathon pace, so Jamie took off when we started the tempo after a 2.75 mile warm up. I ran with Tom for the first two miles then he dropped back and I was on my own. My watch was beeping way after his so my splits aren't reliable, but Jamie drove the course and knew it was four miles. Total time: 26:55, or about 6:44 ave pace. Not a stellar workout, but I don't feel bad about it either. Then we did a wandering route around SF neighborhoods to get more miles in. Poor Tom checked out early because of an oncoming migraine. I have never had one but my husband gets them and they seem just terrible!
Asics.

Wee hours of the morning run because of training in SLC and have to meet a group to carpool. I don't know about you all, but I really dislike forced carpool chit chat. I would rather read a book or listen to the radio. I think I will bring a book and see how it goes. I am reading Shirley by one of the Bronte sisters (not sure which, actually). Ran a little faster today. I was surprised when bolted out of the gate with a 7:01 first mile. It was just me and my mp3 player and I let the song set the pace. 7:15 mile 2. 7:23 mile 3. My mp3 ran out of juice at around mile 3 :(. So it's just me and my thoughts from then on, not too bad, I guess. 7:26 and 7:27 for miles 4 and 5, I guess my thoughts are not that stimulating. It was interesting feeling out a faster slow pace. I don't think I am ready for that pace for a 10 miler, but perhaps someday soon.

Easy somewhat long run this morning in SF with SF group. Kim made a surprise breakfast for Tom so that was fun. Paul's male buddies Paul T, Terry and Kerry drove down to run and be part of the festivities. It was great to run with them and be able to talk with them. The only problem was we had to get there before he did so I didn't quite get the 65 miles I was hoping ot get this week :( Close but no cigar! I will work hard to get it next week because of potential Turkey Day damage.
I don't have ave pace because I forgot to turn off my watch. Probably ave 8:10.
