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 with Leslie on the crest trail. It is so beautiful up there looking down on Park City and Big Cottonwood canyon.

Three laps around the South Salt Lake Regional airport. Started at 9:30pm and finished at 1:00am. That is 3 1/2 hours. That's a little under 12 minute miles or slightly more than 5 miles an hour. When I just did one lap it was 6 miles an hour so I slowed down on the second and especially third lap. The rain and sprinklers provided me with some cooling off but I guess I need to bring something to drink as I was really thirsty by the time I had run 18 miles.

Ran 9 1/2 miles from top of Big Cottonwood Canyon past Desolation Lake. It was a fun run with Harold on bike and Leslie running with me. Added 1/2 mile for my walk with Ernie to make it more even.
