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

Took Lela out for nearly a three hour run along 7800 S. nearly to Bacchus Hwy. Then north to 5400 S. where the Usana stadium was. People were in line to park for a concert there.

This time I left later in the evening (8pm-12:00) and ran a similar route up 7800 S. to nearly Bacchus Hwy but this time continued along 5400 West to about 4700 S. before turning back towards home. It is fun to explore slightly different routes each time. Since I had taken a nap I decided it would be good to run a little later into the evening.

Had a nice walk over to the other West Jordan County Library to use the internet and see how far it was. I got my nephew and his friend Mike to pick me up since I was running late to being back for Jessica and Justin's birthday party.
