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!

morning tm run, incline at 1.5%. warmed up for a mile, then did 8 1/4 mile reps at 6.5 mph (1/8 mile recoveries at 4-5 mph).  Dang, these were a lot harder than I thought they'd be, but they definitely put me in a 2:1 breathing pattern so the speed was probably about right for my current level of fitness.  Then ran the remaining distance at 5-5.5 mph.

6.5 mph = 9 min 14 sec?

Morning run to city creek pa 8 and back.  Pretty nippy when I started running, but I warmed up quickly and it ended up being pretty nice running conditions.  No watch, but I tried to push a bit in places, including charging up the hill between 11th & 12th.  (I should do that more often - I bet it would make me pretty strong!)

morning run, unfortunately all on treadmill because I needed to be available at home in case I was "needed". Not particularly motivated this morning, but I got it done.

ap ~ 11:15 with incline at 1.5%
