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!

Goose-egg. Feeling sick today, and had crummy sleep last night.  A long going nightmare that people were trying to kill me, and I kept hiding from them in a big building, and they kept finding me again, etc.  Kept waking up from the nightmare only to fall back asleep to the same nightmare. bleh . . .

Wasn't sure how to approach today's run since I was sick and didn't run yesterday. Still feeling sick, but at least I got some quality sleep last night so I just decided to go by feel.  TM at 1.5%, quick warm-up at 5 mph, then laddered from 5.3 to 6.0 mph, and then back down again, clicking the speed button every time a new song came on.  Then did a short cool-down for 1/8 mile.  (ap 11)

tm run, laddered up to 6 mph and back.  Clicking the speed button every new song makes treadmill running so much more bearable! (ap ~ 11)

Lots of snow to shovel last night and this morning!
