12. Red Mountain, UT 50K 24 May 2008 (7:25)

I ran several unofficial runs now including:
Top of Utah marathon with brother George this summer (2009, Ogden, Utah), Park City Marathon with my friend Leslie this summer, and a 50-miler along the west coastline of LA with Ernie roller blading, and about 34 miles with Ernie around Palos Verdes Pennisula in Los Angles. Next week we are going to try to Pony Express 50-miler (Utah) and perhaps in the spring the St. George, Utah 50-K.


Short-Term Running Goals:

Keep off the 10 pounds I lost over the summer, try to keep up 50 miles a week on various runs, and eventually to loose another 10 pounds within the next year (from 160 to the 149/150 range).

Long-Term Running Goals:

Regular exercize to keep my mood and health at optimum levels of functioning. I want to live a long, happy life!

Personal:

Married (husband: Ernie Horstmanshoff), three step-children, two grandchildren

Ran around the airport field with Lela and then back to the gas station to rent a DVD (old Sylvester Stalone movie). Its getting colder!

Around the airport field with Lela again. I have to remember not to eat peanut butter sandwiches before running as it creates gas and bloating in my stomach that is uncomfortable with running. Also it gets so dark so early now that I need to dress warmer and try to get out during daylight hours instead of running at night (which was refreshing during the summer. I guess it helps to be flexible and have multiple options for running. I kind of hope perhaps I will be back in California in January as I'm not looking forward to the Utah winter.

Took our friends Lee and Ruben for a walk around temple square. Ruben found four documents about his uncle in Puerto Rico at the genealogy library and enjoyed seeing views from the top of the church office building. The tour guide asked me if I was Mormon since I said my mom was on a mission at temple square. I told her I was raised Mormon but wasn't anymore. I didn't tell her I did a mission for the church, graduated Ph.D. from BYU's marriage and family program, and was now married to a husband. I think it might have given her a heart attack.

Did a walk around the airfield with our guest Ruben who is 70 and visiting from Los Angeles. Then tonight he and another visiting friend Lee and Ernie & Justin (Ernie's son) all did a hike to the Pipeline Trail (Grandier Peak Trail) and west to the mouth of the canyon. The guests went down at rattlesnake gulch and Ernie & I ran back to the car and picked them up on our way down the canyon.

Took our guests to the Timpanogous Caves tour (3 1/2 miles) and the boardwalk at Cascade Springs while we went around the Alpine Loop.
