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!

7.5 outside to Capital, then to City Creek & about 1.5 miles up the canyon, then to school, then home, where I added 1 TM mile to cool down. Lotsa drizzling rain which turned to big fat snowflakes up in City Creek Canyon - it was quite refreshing to breathe in the nice cool air even if my clothes did get a bit soggy! Didn't push it anywhere - just a long easy run.

Missed my post running stretches because I had to take one of my kids somewhere.  If I were smart . . . , I'd do some now that I'm back home!

NICE JOB! It was quite a nice running day, I enjoyed the warm when the sun was out and the cool when it was not, I even enjoyed the rain. We did not get any snowflakes, though.

Thanks Kelli. Yeah, city creek was nice quiet and peaceful this morning, and the snowflakes really set the mood. I'd better get over and see what you ran today. - Adele
