| 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!

| Upper hip has been bugging me lately so I thought I would try the treadmill instead of my usual city creek run. Hip still hurt while running, but didn't seem to hurt as much as it does when I run outside. 5 miles @ 1.5 incline, with the middle 3 being somewhat tempo pace @ 6 mph. Probably the best thing I can do for my hip is to start stretching after running again - I've been bad at that . . . Oh, I did my arm strengthening exercises this morning. :) (First time in a week - I'd kind of fallen out of that routine, too.) Really hoping to get a good routine going again; having my kids switch from summer vacation to school and having Labor Day thrown in there always seems to throw all my plans out the window!

No running,but I went to a climbing gym for the first time & learned how to belay and climb in a harness. It was awesome & a good arm workout!

| Mini progression run on tm. Still have a sore hip, but I bought some new shoes in case it helps! Slowly ramped up for warm up then 1 miles @ 5.5 mph 1.5% incline, then 1 mile, 5.7 mph 1.5% incline, then got a pain in my butt & suffered thru another 1/2 mile before stopping. Stretched well afterwards. | |

| 2.5 slow miles, and boy were they slow!!!!!!! Never got over 1.5%
incline & 5 mph, but the good news was the sharp pain in my butt was
absent while running, so hopefully it won't return and I can start
running regularly again. Hip pain hasn't been too bad lately, so I'll
keep my fingers crossed on that as well. I ran in my new shoes :) Also stretched good afterwards.
Did my full arm exercises afterwards.
Even did some real simple abdomen strengthening exercises. (have to start somewhere...)

| 3.5 slow miles, still slow, but a little faster than yesterday, and a mile further. Long middle stretch at 1% incline and 5.5 mph. Good news (knock on wood!) no sharp jabbing pain in my butt while running. :) Hip pain isn't too bad, either, hopefully new shoes & stretching has been helping everything. Still keeping fingers crossed, meanwhile I will ramp things up (speed, incline, & distance) very slowly.
Also stretched good afterwards.
Did my full arm exercises afterwards.
Still need to do my simple abdomen strengthening exercises but need to get ready to meet Evy first. Walked Suzie in morning...

| @%$#%! Got body slammed by Suzie - knocked me over twisting my left ankle. Grr!!! It's not too bad, though, a bit tender and won't be able to run for a couple days (aggravating since I already haven't ran for a couple days!), but should be able to run by mid week. | |
