2. St. George Marathon 4 Oct 2003 (5:09)
3. Los Angeles Marathon 19 Mar 2006 (5:35)

7. 24-Hour Moab, UT Ultra ?2006
8. Goblin Valley, UT 50K ?1 Nov 2006
9. Catalina Island, CA 40 Miles Jan 2007
10. Big Sur, CA 29 Apr 2007 (5:48)

12. Red Mountain, UT 50K 24 May 2008 (7:25)
13. Ogden, UT Marathon 16 May 2009 (5:45)

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 5 miles down and back to Winchester Park and then 8 miles along the parkway with Leslie. I crashed afterwards and then my stomach hurt so I basically wasted today in recovery.

Sorry you had a crappy stomach Wed.

Thanks for our 25 mile moonlight run Gary. It was brutal, but a great accomplishment. I want to see you do it one day, and I will pace you at the end when you are tired!

Gary, where is your SAt. report? How do you feel? I recoverd pretty quickly, but did take a day off of bootcamp today ( Monday). I am not going to do Timp, I am officially tapering for St. George now, let me know if you guys go, I will want to hear all about it.

Thanks Les! I finally got online today. I've been kind of out of it since the run. I picked up a friend from the airport yesterday and seemed to be mixed up on everything I did so although I felt better my brain was not working full capacity. I'm glad you are taking it easy. I'm not sure if we will do the Timp hike or not. I'll let you know. I don't think I'll be doing a Wasatch 100 although it might be fun to run some more parts of it in the off season.
