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 run to city creek picnic area 5 and back home. Got pretty warm on the way home. (still seem to be running hotter than I should based on the outside temps).
Weight: 0.00

Would you say you were having a hot flash? Could be menopause.

I'm sorry Adele! That was highly inappropriate of me! (So why am I laughing?)

Ahem, Burt. Perhaps "hot flash" is on your mind because of your first leg in your recent Ragnar Relay? (You did great, by the way!)
Don't worry - I'm not offended! I was just sick with a fever most of last week and wondered if that was why I got hotter than I thought I should during my punier than normal run. (I was chronicling it for future reference in case I ever have a virus like that again.)
