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. |

| Walked 3 miles in 44 min while Marion ellipticalled.
Had my post op. the nurse practicioner said that I could start cross training immediately and ramp up intensity. I could start running now but if I wanted to go 5-6 miles or more to wait until 3 weeks. Based off this and my coach's advice, and my preference on approach, I will not run until three weeks after the operation--or until I feel "super-spry" (its a medical term), in the meantime I will walk, ellip and pool run.

| Pool ran 31 min this morning. Planned on 40 min, but it started to pull on my belly button. Apparently I have an internal stitch in the inner muscle that will pull for a while. Spent 1.5 hours disassembling and reassembling two of my kids beds with my Dad, who is visiting from CA and was kind enough to work on this with me. It was really fun. Elliptical 40 min, level 3 after warm up. |

Ellipticalled for 61 min, ramping up to level 4. Then weighed myself for the first time-- 125.4! I haven't gained at all, I am so happy. I was so surprised, I was expecting 5-10 pounds higher. I plan on walking later today as well. |

| Had horrible sleep, then woke up at 6:20 am. Got in my swim suit. Was going to go to walmart then the Natatorium in Brigham City (we were up there for the holidays). Walmart was ok, but the Nat. was closed, checked out the Crystal Inn pool (they said I could use it for a couple of bucks) but its 5 foot section was a sliver at the very end of a narrow pool, so I scrapped it. We got home at 3pm, then got swim suits on and turned back around. I took the kids to the Lehi pool with a babysitter, and I hit the pool. 60 min pool running. Warmed up then 4 min on/2 min off x 5, then 5 min easy pool running then 1 min on/off x 4 miles. I wanted to do a bit more hard stuff but was concerned because I forgot my medication the night before and was late taking this morning's dose (due to being out of town and forgetting my toiletry bag), so had to be satisfied with that as my first hard pool running workout. 30 min elliptical at night as well. |

62 min elliptical in the morning. 30 min at level 4, then did my first hardish workout on the ellip: 5,5,7,7,4,4,6,6,8,8,3,3,5,5,7,7,4,4,6,6,8,4,5, then back to 4's for the rest. 3 miles walking at night. Was going to do 4 but for some reason the bottom of my feet were rubbing wrong in my shoe and felt raw. Switched to ellip for 15:10 min to make it an even 60 min of exercise in evening. Also walked the university mall with Marion today, and the Provo Towne Center mall with Paul. Very disgusted by the McNaughton "art" displayed in both malls, depicting President Obama stepping on the constitution. Since when has trash like that been framed and put in family rooms? |
