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! 

2011 Deseret News 10K Finish Line.
Dang - missed my goal by 4 seconds!

5 miles TM @ 1.5%,  mostly 5.5 mph, bumping it up to 6 mph for 1/2 mile near the end. (55:30)  Took the time for some really good stretching afterwards - felt good!  Gotta plan long run tomorrow  - today is cold and windy, but tomorrow is supposed to be a lot nicer 50's & sunny!!!

For all those racing this weekend, GO GET 'EM!

Hi Kelli. I'll try to do 8-9 tomorrow. And yes, it is supposed to be a lot nicer (according to weather forecast on internet anyway). Yikes - it was freezing walking from the bus to my building this morning!!

Good luck with your long run tomorrow. I hope you get some nice weather tomorrow!
