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

Did several walks-hikes today. We (Ernie & I) hiked around Wheeler Farm for about an hour looking at the animals and entertaining the children. We then hiked around Liberty Park for a couple hours, admiring nature, discussing life theories, and admiring all the free spirits at the drum circle. We then went up to the end of I-street in the avenues and did a good hike with Ernie's daughter. I carried the baby Fenix so I got an extra exercise as we hiked up the mountainside and down again. James was doing bike jumping while we did our hike.

Memorial Day. Ernie and James both needed to use my printer but I was out of ink cartridges so I decided about 7pm to do a little run with Lela over to Office Depot to see if they were open on the holiday. They had been opened but closed at 6pm so I decided while we were out to go the rest of the way around the airport field. Nice little run.

This time I went out at 8am and got the cartridges from Office Depot and then we continued around the airport field. Picked up garbage along the road while running. Lela was good and so I let her run free almost the whole way. I'm trying to get her to know that "Fence" means I want her to run closer to the fence so that I can let her off her leash and not worry about her running into the road when I'm not looking.

Ernie & I did a run-walk up the Pipeline Trail in Big Cottonwood Canyon. We started at Rattlesnake Gultch and went to where Mt. Aire Trailhead starts and then headed back. It had rained in the morning and the ground was soft and the temperature moderate with a nice breeze blowing. It was a beautiful day.
