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 in the rain with Lela. Got one bag of garbage along the north side. It was fun to stretch the legs again and helped me get a good sleep. Now I need to quit procrastinating and get back to my statistical work.

Did a hike with Ernie & Lorraine Horstmanshoff up at Albion Bason. It was beautiful while the sun was up and got super cold once the sun went down but then we went to the Cliff Spa and spent a few hours enjoying jacoosi, steam room, etc. It was awesome. Only $10 for locals and during the off season doesn't have many people there! Definitely need to trty this again as a reward after a good workout!

Did my service project for the day by picking up a dead cat that was full of maggots and stinky, and after putting it in two bags, carried it a mile to the gas station to dispose of it in their garbage. Did a trip around the airport and a little more as I had to run back home to get a video I was going to return on my way. Thinking I need to find a route that is 10 miles instead of 6 miles. Either that or do two 6 mile runs a day...
