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! 

2011 Deseret News 10K Finish Line.
Dang - missed my goal by 4 seconds!

3 miles to city creek gate & back.  Then walked suzie, then stretched, then did shoulder & arm exercises for the first time in a month or two.

on treadmill - mostly slow but did ramp it up to 6 mph for maybe an 1/8 of a mile. Felt good - should've ramped it up earlier. Lets me know that I better start increasing my speed. 

I also feel good that I even ran as I seriously did not want to run today, and as a result came pretty close to not running at all.  Don't know why I was so bummed today - probably not helped by a lack of quality sleep for a few days and bad eating today (3-4 chocolate sourcream cookies, 5 almond rochas, a handful of nuts, a handful of figs, 1/2 slice of stale pizza washed down by coffee, EEKS no wonder I had no energy!)

4 on tm, ramped it up (a little) and ran the middle 3 at 5.5 mph 1.5% incline.  Just a little uncomfortable, but not that bad and definitely doable. 

full set of arm & shoulder strengthening exercises, but still need to stretch.
