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

Listened to the John Bett's podcasts about Carl Jung's theories while running on the treadmill. This time I did two sets of 60 minutes each.  The first 60 minutes ran 5.17 miles and burned 684 calories.  The second 60 minutes ran 5.16 miles and 677 calories.  Had a nice time!

5 1/2 hours.  63 laps I figure is about 23 miles, and then ran two miles home afterwards.  Listened to recordings of Carl Jung, John Betts, and Christopher Hitchens while running.

Two hours on the tread mill with Ernie.  We had some really fun discussions.  Burned 1288 calories according to the tread mill.  Ran with just socks on.  I wonder if this will help my feet get stronger on the bottom.

1500 Calories.  Ran two hours on the tread mill.  My goal now is to run at least two hours and 10 miles at least 4 times a week in addition to my one long run, we'll see if I can keep it up.
