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!

Mid morning run to and from city creek, pa 8.  Got home at 11:15 a.m. and boy was it hot outside, especially since my last 1.25 miles home is uphill in the sun.  My legs felt better than they did on Tuesday's run, but they sure don't have much spring to them, even while I was running downhill in city creek.

Did my shoulder strengthening exercises; now I need to fnish up and do my stretches. :)

If it's one thing you've taught me it's the importance of stretches. Now I need to teach you the importance of not running at 11:15am. Try doing that here. LOL!

Adele, I'm seriously so thankful for your donation. You are too awesome! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thanks so much for the advice,Burt, I'm just about to head out and go running and it's only 7:45 am! And, it's overcast to boot!

And seriously, you are so very welcome. You and your daughter are the awesome ones!!
