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!

Took my new dog "Suzie Q" running at the soccer field path this morning.  She doesn't tug on the leash a whole lot and it seems like it will work out pretty well.  She stopped several times to sniff gopher holes, etc., and I would let her sniff for a few seconds, then told her to "come on" and she did.  I'm hoping I can eventually let her off leash and get her to come back to me by patting my leg and telling her to come.  (She does this in the house real well, but I don't totally trust her outside, yet!!)

Not sure of her conditioning, so I only went a mile with her, then took her home and I ran another 4 miles on the TM with her watching (she didn't seem scared of the TM, but looked at me like I was NUTS!).  I would've liked to finish running outside, but my son wasn't awake yet to watch her and I don't want to leave her unsupervised in my house just yet.

Does she have shifty eyes? I wouldn't trust her either.

I think you are referring to Waxford over in sector 6.

Well, Burt and AZdesertmonsoon, she didn't seem to have shifty eyes when I adopted her on Sunday, but that was probably because she was on her best behavior so she could get out of the animal shelter she'd been in. Now,after a few days, her true personality is starting to appear . . .
