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! 

2011 Deseret News 10K Finish Line.
Dang - missed my goal by 4 seconds!

Hip pain wasn't too bad so I did my first outside running in about a month.  Short & slow - to and from city creek gate.  Did shoulder exercises

3.5 on treadmill, 1% incline.  Started slow then laddered between 5.3 & 5.7 mph a couple times (30_30 counts per click), then ramped back down.  No pain, but not much energy either.  Ugh - my weights creeping up #@$%!

Good stretching after running
3 sets of ab crunches and 2 sets of back left lifts
Full shoulder & upper arm strengthening exercises

Suzie for walk

To & from city creek gate, would've been a nice day to run further but needed to get home to do something with Evy.  Really need to start running more frequently.  Stretched after wards.

evening run on treadmill. really didn't want to start running & didn't especially want to keep running, but surprisingly i started feeling better the faster I ran! Alright, i'll take that! went up to 5.5 mph then laddered up to 6 mph & back down (120 counts at each speed). Fastest I've ran since I aggravated my hips & periformis a month or two ago.

4.750.004.75

noon time run on treadmill. decided to stop being a wussy & crank the incline back up from 1% to 1.5%.  Of course that meant my pace was slower, but that was okay because I was looking for a change of pace (pun, get it!).  laddered between 5 & 5.5 mph a couple times, then ramped down to finish 4.75 miles. Walked a 1/4 mile cool down.

Took Suzie on her standard walk.
