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!

Labor Day (ie, a nice day to sleep in), but my daughter wanted to go running at 6:30 am!!  She needed to be somewhere by 9, so we just made it a quick run up city creek (PA5) and back.  And, quick it was with a blazing fast pace from our house to the city creek gate!  (I don't know how fast because neither of us had a garmin or watch, but based on my breathing pattern I'm guessing it was 5K pace.)

I hoped to get out for a longer run later, but spent the whole rest of the day doing yard work.  It is time for our "neighborhood" clean-up, and I had a lot of thorny bushes to hack down in the back yard.  I've got a lot of scratches now . . . so went my "Labor" day!
