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!

Slow run up to city creek pa 8 and back home.  It was a pretty low energy run, especially for having two days off - I'm thinking it is a fueling issue because I really didn't eat much yesterday.  I've experienced this before, and you'd think I would learn . . .  (Also had a pretty busy two days of yard work, and only got about 4 hours of sleep, so that could also contribute to my tiredness.)

Evening run to city creek pa 8 and back home.  pretty hot when I started, but it was quite cool in city creek, and the sun was setting on the return trip home, so that section was cooler, too.  But, I'm still feeling lethargic - what gives?!?  

Also, my legs are still pretty tight, especially my calves, even though I haven't run very much or very hard this week.  2 days of non stop gardening must have effected me more than I thought.
