Running Accomplishments:

I was a much better runner in my 20's and 30's.  When I was 52 I had a 28.5 5K and a 58.5 10K, and I would like to surpass those times.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Run a 1/2 marathon.  I would actually love to run a full marathon, but am not sure if my body would break down with injuries training for one.  Update fall 2010: still no 1/2 marathon, but I did run all the way up city creek and back home (14 miles)  - absolutely gorgeous!!

Personal:

My name is Adele Kimbrough - I'm 58 and have been running (off and on) since I was 16.  My body is not well designed for speed, and I'm a bit arthritic, but I'm having fun trying to figure out just how fast I can be.  And this blog helps!

Absolutely glorious day running in Salt Lake City.  Ran to the Capital, then to the area 13(?)water station up in City Creek Canyon, then home.  Kept a good leg turnover coming downhill out of City Creek, and focused on keeping a loose relaxed steady speed going up the homestretch hills.  The warmth sure felt good today - wish all running days could be so nice!!

I'm looking forward to seeing the Ogden race reports!

Great runs are really really great! Nice job--not to mention your awesome 1/2 mile repeats the other day--you need to race again, sounds like your fitness is really ramping up!
