3. Los Angeles Marathon 19 Mar 2006 (5:35)

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

from 9am to 12:30pm.  I had to quit early today since we had a dinner appointment with Ernie's brother from Hilo.  Enjoyed 2nd and 3rd disk of Walden by Thoreau.

99 minutes on tread mill.  1444 calories burned.  I let Ernie listen to Walden with the ear phones and ran next to him with just my thoughts.

First four miles on my own on the tread mill and then Ernie joined me for the last 6 miles.  It was lightly raining when we got done.  I was thinking of a plan how I might build up to a 100 mile Pony Express by next fall but certainly not committing to it yet.  Just fun thinking about possibilities.  I do like that running more regularly will help me keep my weight down.  My goal now is to get to a 20+ run once a week and four 10 mile runs on other days.  Then I can eventually try to schedule two 20+ runs a week with shorter runs in between.  With the books on tape, I think it is enjoyable to spend a lot of hours out running.  Also tried taking off my shoes and running in socks for the last 5 miles on the tread mill. If I keep that up I should get tougher soles of my feet.
