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!

morning tm. warmed up a mile, then laddered from 6 mph (tempo'ish pace) to 6.5 mph (5k'ish pace), then back to 6 mph, changing the speed a tenth mile at the start of each song.  Then ran at a slower pace until I had 6 miles total.  I felt pretty good for this workout, even though I did stop twice for a few seconds to catch my breath and grab a quick sip of water.  incline at 1.5%

Morning run a little past city creek picnic area 8 and back home, slow pace.  A coyote crossed the road about 50 yards from me, which was pretty cool.  Gorgeous outside!

Evening: went to a free yoga class at the main library.  I was hoping it would be a nice easy stretching type of class, but it was pretty kick butt so I'm hoping what doesn't kill me makes me stronger!
