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!

8 outdoor loop to SE corner of capital, then to the 1.5 mile marker in city creek canyon, then home.  Did a 1 mile cool down on TM once I got home because I was breathing hard from running uphill to my house. I felt good running today -  I think it helped that I fueled well with a peanut butter & honey sandwich and juice about an hour before running.  

It was really cool - I was running up city creek canyon and a coyote loped along with me for a couple minutes - he was on the hillside about 100 yards from the road.  I howled at him a couple times, but I don't think he was as impressed as I was!!

Need to do some stretches now. . .

Nice run! I love peanut butter--it is a staple of my diet--and peanut butter and honey on bread or tortilla is my pre-race meal!

So, you are not afraid of wildlife, then? That coyote would have scared me to death!

Nice job on the run, it is always hard to end uphill, I hate that! You will have to move or something! The house across the street from me is for sale, come live by me!!!!

I think I am going to go make a peanut butter and honey sandwich, they are my favorite and that sounds so good right now!!
