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. |

| Indoor workout, running 8 miles in Provo with Josse. Roads very messy and slow going, 9:17 ave pace, then walked another mile. 9.5 miles total. Was in training all day in Provo, with extra stress and lots of cell phone calls because the kids' buses weren't making it up the mountain and my husband wasn't answering his phone. Bleh. I'll be ready to end this day. SI joint on right a tad achy throughout day. When running, lots of attachments feeling yucky, presumably because of sliding. |

| Slept in. Aahh! Went to PT appt. Said SI has been bugging me for two days, 1-2. Said hamstring was a 1. They worked on both. Inner ham was killing when Steve worked on it, I just gritted the teeth and bore it. As I did ab workout this evening it still ached. At PT did 5 minutes no resistance spin to warm up, stretching in the cage, hamstring lunges with 9# (up from 5, it was so hard, we joked that the floor was magnetic, because every once and a while when I lunged down the weight would hit the floor and stay there.), and a new exercise where I stand on one foot and pick up a ball with one hand, then lift both hands up, then put the ball down, then lift both hands up, then pick up the ball with the other hand. Basically a big test of my balance. All warmed up from the PT, so hit the roads next. .25 warm up walk, then 8 miles @ 7:42 ave pace, then .25 more walking. Ab workout for 30 minutes, bored with same old routine so found some different stuff in my swiss ball book to do. Did my crunches slower, with my pelvis up higher, and that burned earlier on. Bedtime. |

| Slept in! Indoor warm up: walked 2.1, then hamstring lunges, then stretching, then met MacK. 11 miles @ 8:07 pace. Andy from Salem passed us on the hill going into Payson, which was a bitter pill, but we made him earn it a bit. Roads were a mixture. Some were clear, about 1/3 we had to seriously battle for cars for space or run in snowy/slick conditions, so true effort was higher than actual pace. It was warmer (27F) so we stashed some gloves, and shirts at the 2 mile point, but an old guy on a 4 wheeler picked them up and was driving away with them as we were running back. MacK was doing a super whistle to get him to stop and I was waving my arms and yelling. He handed over our stuff and all was well. After run did 5 reps of the one legged ball grab. |
