| Location: Salt Lake City,UT,USA Member Since: Dec 29, 2009 Gender: Female Goal Type: Other 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!

| Nice cool post rain negative ion filled sweet smelling morning run to city creek one mile marker and back home. Did some tempo'ish effort running up city creek and 5 hard fairly long strides coming home so I'll count about one mile as fast. | |

um . . . hadn't tried any *speedy* workouts in a while, so I thought I should try to get back into the swing of it. Kept tm @ 1.5%, then did a mile warmup, then a mile @ 6 mph, then 3 reps of 3/4 mile @ 6.5 mph (9 min 13 sec pace), with 1/4 mile recoveries after the 3/4 mile reps. Then ran slower for a while. I was really dreading doing any type of speed work and felt pretty horrid running a faster pace when I started (what can I expect after slacking off for a few weeks), but I felt better pretty quickly. And, of course now I'm happy I ran the faster reps . . .

Early morning run up to city creek 1.5 mile marker and back home. I tried to run the first mile up city creek in 10 minutes; got 10:36. It was harder than I expected - guess I still have a ways to go (but still better than a couple months ago when my timed uphill mile was about 11 minutes). I was breathing at a hard 5k pace effort and really wanted to slack off the last tenth of a mile, but didn't, so I'm HAPPY about that.

| Slow run up to city creek pa 8 and back home. It was a pretty low energy run, especially for having two days off - I'm thinking it is a fueling issue because I really didn't eat much yesterday. I've experienced this before, and you'd think I would learn . . . (Also had a pretty busy two days of yard work, and only got about 4 hours of sleep, so that could also contribute to my tiredness.) | |

| Evening run to city creek pa 8 and back home. pretty hot when I started, but it was quite cool in city creek, and the sun was setting on the return trip home, so that section was cooler, too. But, I'm still feeling lethargic - what gives?!? Also, my legs are still pretty tight, especially my calves, even though I haven't run very much or very hard this week. 2 days of non stop gardening must have effected me more than I thought.
