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!

Okay, finally a long run (long for me anyway!).  Next run I'll plan short & easy, then I'll plan a run that includes either a couple tempo pace miles or a couples miles at a 3-4% incline.

I still need to be better organized so I have time to cool-down properly after running and stretch.  Currently I just jump off the treadmill, race into the shower, throw on some clothes, and run to the bus stop! :)

That is a great run!! Nice job. How are your legs feeling after all of that stair climbing in your last workout? Mine would be DEAD!

Adele, I know this is delayed but welcome aboard. I'm glad that the race reports inspired you to dust off your shoes and start running again. I just wish the air around here would be nicer to you for getting back to it.

Thanks, Adam. I didn't want to tell you until I had a few runs under my belt. (If you knew how many times I've tried to start running again, only to quit after 3-4 runs, . . . )

I agree, this air sucks :(
