Running Accomplishments:

I will try to reconstruct my marathon/ultra history:

1. Salt Lake City Pioneer Day Marathon 24 July 1996
2. St. George Marathon 4 Oct 2003 (5:09)
3. Los Angeles Marathon 19 Mar 2006 (5:35)
4. Salt Lake City Marathon 3 Jun 2006 (5:12)
5. San Francisco, CA Marathon 30 Jul 2006
6. Long Beach, CA Marathon 15 Oct 2006 (5:02)
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)
11. Vancouver, Canada Marathon 4 May 2008 (5:20) - Got married later in the day!
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

That is where I was going to take you tomrrow, maybe we can do the Porter Rockwell trail instead. We will see, I am crippled from Sat., kinda bummed about it.

We only did a very tiny segment of the Bonneville Shoreline trail so it would be fun to run it with you. Of course Porter Rockwell would be fun to explore too. I think Ernie wants to come and do some mountain running too. How do you feel about that? He could run on his own and meet us when we are done perhaps.

okay, the Shoreline it is, that will be great, I will bring Odee and you bring Ernie! I may have to lag in the back, but that is fine, I will shoot you in the right direction and we can all enjoy the trail at our own pace. See you bright and early. Still meet at my house and then you can follow me to the trail head.
