| 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!

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. | |

| 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.
