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!

Whew! Was planning on a nice cool early morning run, but then had a chance to go horseback riding, so . . . Anyway, had a lot of fun riding - in a bareback pad with lots of trotting and cantering! It really is so much fun, but you need to use a lot of inner thigh to grip the horses so you don't fall off, and, boy my inner thighs are starting to get sore! I stayed at the stables quite a while to help groom several of the horses - they are shedding their winter coats like no tomorrow!

Finally came home and went running mid afternoon - up to the Capital, then to the City Creek guard shack, then home to add a bit more on the TM to round it out. I am pretty tuckered out right now; I think I could zonk out and go right to sleep, but better shower and start dinner first!! 

Hope everyone is having a good weekend - we have absolutely beautiful weather today and will be sending it your way!  :)

We got the nicer weather around 1:00 this afternoon. Thanks for sending it.

I've never been horseback riding. It sounds like hard work.

Seriously, horseback riding can be very painful! I have not had that chance in years, you lucky!!!

Sounds like a full day! Sleep well!
