| Location: Salt Lake City,UT,USA Member Since: Dec 29, 2009 Gender: Female Goal Type: Other 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!

| Okay, didn't have much time to run this morning, but the miles I ran felt really good for a change. I up'd the speed on the treadmill a bit, and would've liked to run longer except I needed to be somewhere. Actually feels like I have a "spring" to my step today! This is my 6th day of running everyother day, so hopefully this means I'm back in the groove! | |

Okay, 2 days in a row here ;). I thought this morning's treadmill run was going relatively easy, like yesterday's. Lifted the cardboard to check the mileage, and noticed the incline was set at 0%. OOPS! I always leave it at a minimum of 1.5% to more closely mimic outside running; I must've accidentally pushed the wrong button during yesterday's run. Well, I put it back up to 1.5% and yep it felt harder again!
(I normally cover the front display on the treadmill with cardboard because I can't stand all the red lights, and then lift the cardboard occassionally to check time/mileage, etc. Next time my workout seems especially easy, I guess I'd better check the incline!)
Still felt like I would've liked to run longer. But had to time my run between my kids leaving for school, and my getting ready to catch a bus that comes only every 1/2 hour. At least a 3 mile run is better than no run at all, which was a rut I fell into during most of Oct, Nov, & Dec. | |

For the past couple weeks I've just been trying to get back into some type of running routine, and have just been aiming for consistently getting (relatively easy) runs in. But, after reading Kelli's blog about her recent 20 rep interval training , I just couldn't resist trying a little harder!
So today I ran slow for 3/4 mile, then did 12 reps of one minute fast (6.2mph) then one minute slow (5 mph), then finished my run at a 5.5 mph pace. (Hey, don't laugh at me - I've got to start somewhere!). It was a good effort - didn't kill me; I'll push for a little faster pace next week.
Again, would've liked to run a bit further but had that darn bus to catch. | |

Treadmill running (1 @ 5mph, 2 @ 5.5mhp, 1.5 @ 5mph,). Slowly getting better, and surprised at the number of miles I ran this week!!
Next week's goal: fit in a longer run of 5-6 miles.
