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!

Still feeling a bit disjointed around the groin area. (I hope I'm not invited to go horseback riding again this weekend - it was way fun, but disasterous for my running!!). I had good energy this morning, and quickly got into a tempo pace of 6.1 mph. Stopped around 4 miles to get some water, but then had trouble with groin area (not reallly painful - just felt slightly disjointed and uncomfortable) when I started to run again. Decided not to continue the running, and instead walked at 10% to get a bit more exercise. Light stretching afterwards. I'm thinking (hoping) I should be back to normal by tomorrow. :)

I wondered what had happend to you.

At least you had fun horseback riding, but it sounds like you're having to pay for it more than you intended now.

Doesn't it seem poopy that other fun activities should have impact on the other things, like running, that we enjoy. You'll get back into a groove soon enough.

Remind me to never get on a horse :)

Wow I never realized that horseback riding could make you so sore!

Oh, the horseback riding was a lot of fun, but I was in a bareback pad and doing a lot of trotting and cantering and had to grip the horse using my seldom used inner thigh muscles! Actually hb riding is like everything else, in that if you do it all the time your muscles adapt and don't get sore. (I knew I'd be sore because I hadn't ridden since last fall!)

Next time let the horse ride on your back.
