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 Ernie & Leslie at the olympic oval.  We walked home and went from about 7:45am until about 2:30pm but it was fun to spend the day with Ernie.

Another 3 1/2 hour run around Liberty Park while Ernie was swimming at the pool in Sugarhouse.  I was fascinated by studying the trees.  The pine trees along the road on the east and south side of the park I figure must be either Pinus nigra (Austrian Pines) or Pines resinosa (Red Pine/Norway Pine).  I can't yet make up my mind.  I would say Ponderosa Pine except it has only two pine needles to a bundle.  Also loved the Basswood trees (Tilia) and the trees with the bean-pods.  It will be fun to continue running there and trying to figure out these trees.  Kind of drisley weather but the sun did try to come out at one point.  Was a wonderful run!
