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!
2011 Deseret News 10K Finish Line.
Dang - missed my goal by 4 seconds!
Short & easy 3.5 miles. Need to psych myself for hills or tempo running tomorrow.
Weight: 0.00

Thanks, Kelli, for your encouragement. Your blog has done a lot to inspire me!
I'll either set my TM on an incline, or else run outside around the avenues/city creek/capital hill area. I have a good loop that's mostly level/downhill the first half, then a lot of uphill to get home!

That area is even hillier than where I live!!! If you can run those hills you are TOUGH!

Oh, you're sweet, Kelli. But I'm not very tough; more like a slow softy!

I shake in my boots, or running shoes, at the thought of running in the avenues! In my book, you are TOUGH! have a great run tomorrow. i am going to do my best to avoid any and all hills tomorrow.
