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!

Low energy, probably because I had to run at night (I much much much prefer running in the morning!), and I'm also a bit sleep deprived because some raccoons were fighting and making an absolutely horrible noise in my back yard at 3:20 this morning.  Never did make it back to sleep. I sure hope they don't repeat their performance tonight!

raccoon solution: gun.

Ugh. Interrupted sleep is the worst. And I find raccoons creepy.

Hope your energy is up today!

Raccoons are vicious little critters. They killed all my baby chicks a few years back.

Thanks - this was a hard run - mixture of anxiety, stress, depression, little food & very little sleep. April, that must've been a real bummer about your baby chicks. The raccoons here are pretty urbanized and mostly scout about the neighborhood looking for cat food and garbage. But when they fight, it truly sounds like some unearthly creature is being tortured!
