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!

Dang - missed my goal by 4 seconds!

8 mile outdoor hilly loop to capital, up city creek past the 1.5 marker, then back home for 3  more miles on the TM.    Pretty cold outside when I started running this morning, but I warmed up nicely after a mile or two.  A little breezy, but I was very happy there wasn't any sleet, hail, or stinging ice crystals coming down!!! 

Did 2 leisurely sets of post running stretches.  Saturdays are nice! :)

I was glad for the same! The weather man had me scared, glad he was wrong!

Nice job on the run today. Have a great weekend! Any fun plans?

Kelli - thanks - and I'm glad the weatherman was wrong, too!! I need to shower up and start hard boiling some eggs! Hope you have a fun Easter weekend with your kids!

Good job running hills and being grateful for small things (no sleet, shail, or stinging ice crystals).

I need to boil eggs too.

Nothing like a little really bad weather to make us appreciate the not quite so bad weather! Have a great holiday!
