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!
Ok, Thanks to reading the latest Runners World magazine and various snipits from the fast running blog site, I am now motivated to start running again! Ran on my rather souless, but faithful, treadmill.

Treadmill again. Didn't want to start, but told myself "Just Do It!". As always, felt better afterwards!
