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!

Had a busy day and didn't get out for a run until 5 this afternoon.  Went about a mile up city creek. Most of the run went pretty well, but it was pretty hot (90's), and and I kind of ran out of steam on the return route along 12th avenue towards home.  I figured it was a good day to just go slow and try to aclimate to the warmer conditions.

Whew! Sounds like a hot run--but good for you getting it done!

That is definitely pretty hot.

looks like you are definitely on the mend! This heat is hard to get used to--but you are tackling it head on and it won't be long!
