| 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!

SW Day - ran 1 mile warmup, then ran the following reps at 6.5 mph (TM 1.5%):
1/4 mile, 1 mile, 1 mile, 1/4 mile, 1/4 mile. Half distance recovery after each, except for the first 1/4 mile - that one I needed a full 1/4 mile recovery to psych myself up for continuing this workout!! Glad I finished the workout as I felt tired even before I started running today and was really dreading the thought of running those mile repeats. Feel good now, though, and did some good stretching after running. Darn, forgot to bring my water bottle to work, though! | |

HW: 1 mile warmup, then:
3 reps (1/4 mile, 5.5 mph, 5% incline), w/recoveries (1/4 mile, 5-5.5 mph, 1% incline), then
3 more reps (1/4 mile, 5 mph, 7% incline), with same recoveries as above.
Then finished running at 1.5% incline 5.5 mph. Good stretching afterwards, then shower & off to work. | |

| 1 mile 5.5 mph, 2 miles @ 6 mph, 2 miles @ 5.5 mph, 1/8 mile stride @ 7 mph (just to see how it felt), then cooled down @ 5 mph. Felt good this morning, especially considering it was on a treadmill. Just one of those days I enjoyed just rolling along - wasn't bored, wasn't tired, didn't keep checking to see when the run would be over. Unfortunately, no time for post run stretching - had to hurry up and get to work! | |

Okay, this wasn't all at one time, because I had to leave to go pick up my daughter. First run was my typical 7.75 mile hilly loop: to capital, then up to the 1.5 mile marker in city creek canyon, then home. Then I left to pick up my daughter, and decided I should try eating something before my next run, so I had a 3-4 handfuls of raisins (I heard they give runners energy?) and a small glass of 1% chocolate milk. Felt kind of nauseated while in the car. Got back home an hour later and headed out for the second run. Didn't want to hit the hills again, so I ran about 1/4 mile to the Terrace Hills soccer field and ran 3 more miles on the paved path around the soccer field. This second run went pretty good; my body kind of protested when I started running again, but that feeling didn't last too long. This second run wasn't as scenic and serene as my first run, but it was pretty nice running three miles on a flat path without hills!! It was a gorgeous running day in Salt Lake City, a little cool and breezy - but pretty darn nice!!
