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!

Dang - missed my goal by 4 seconds!

Just some easy miles, and post running stretches. At work, I walked up all the stairs twice.  That's got to be good for me!

Will plan a longer run for Saturday, hopefully outside, and will try to either push myself on the hills, or incorporate some tempo running into the middle of the run.

I have been meaning to get over here and thank you for your description of the breathing patterns, but I can not find the right day!!! Anyway, I read it all and THANK YOU for typing it all up for me. I have never heard of that before. It is worth trying----I have breathing issues sometimes and do not get enough oxygen and random body parts fall asleep (today it was my left hand up to my elbow). I have wondered if focusing on my breathing might help!!!

Is that picture of the stairs that you walked up twice??? Where is that?

Hi Kelli. Yes, those are the stairs I walk up - they are pretty magnificent stairs, really, and overlook windows all the way up. They're in the Eccles Institute of Human Genetics (EIHG) building at the U of U. Nice view today! :) Have fun pacing and running the 1/2 this weekend - hope you have great weather for running and driving!

Okay, the U has obviously changes since I graduated in 1998!!! That is magnificent!

Thanks. I am okay with whatever weather for the run, I just hope the drive is good! I hate driving in snow!!!
