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.

Started the day with some Edward and Jacob.  The best early breakfast you might imagine :D  Marion and I went with two of her daughters and one of their teenage friends.  We went to a mexican restaurant.  I had about 5 chips and salsa, chorizo con huevos, skip the refried beans and rice.  And a diet pepsi.

Ok, so the movie was not great, but better than the first one.  The best part of this Twilight experience was rereading book no 1 & 2 and I WON'T READ #3 UNTIL AFTER TAX SEASON.   I'm just saying. . .

So, anyway, delirious from lack of sleep. 

Walked 2.25 miles and stretched while my bourbon chocolate pecan pie baked this morning.  Then went out and ran 7 miles and finished with some walking to make 10 miles total.

Tomorrow is another day!

Met MacK and white chocolate Ali.  We walked, stretched, then ran.  During stretching Ali mad me laugh so hard I was literally rolling around on the cement laughing instead of stretching.  It was good to hang out again.  

We must have been feeling good.  I messed up and didn't have the first 1.58 of our run timed, but the rest of the run was 7:35 ave pace, so it was probably 7:40 ave pace overall.

14 miles total.  Will do abs later today.

 Have the BYU FB game today and a pie party.  Heaven help me, I'm entering babylon.
