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!

Ran 2 miles at the flat soccer field track (one mile at 9:20, which is not super speedy, but not slow either).  Then ran 3 more miles to City Creek and back. (Finished my run at 9:30 am; it was pretty hot by then - I really need to get out much earlier when it is cooler!)

I bet it was toasty at that time! At 5:15 it was actually a bit cold!

Nice job today!

It really helps to get out early on these hot summer days. I just have a hard time doing it.

Nice job Adele.

Thanks Kelli, Carolyn, & Burt. I'm trying to acclimate to the warmer temperatures, but it ain't easy! It could be worse, though. (I'm thinking of the temperatures Burt has to endure in Arizona!)
