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!

Early morning to city creek gate & back with Evy.  She was a bit discouraged but I think she will be feeling much better after another week or so.

Morning run to city creek pa 8 and back.  Threw in 5-6 faster paced fartleks to give my legs, lungs, and mind a bit more challenge.

Morning run to city creek gate & back. 

Then off to shoulder therapy - got lots of good stretches but I don't think any more adhesions broke free.  I've been very faithful at doing my stretches and strengthening exercises at home, and know I've improved a lot, but it's still discouraging to see how limited my range of motion is compared to a year ago.

4:00 pm - warm afternoon run to city creek one mile marker and back; legs feeling pretty fatigued. 

Did two solid sets of shoulder stretches today and did my evening shoulder strengthening exercises.  Takes a lot of time to do all this shoulder therapy, but it's paying off and my shoulder is getting a lot more functional.

No running miles, but I did have a nice hike at Alta with some Wasatch Mountain Club friends.  Lots & lots of snow still up there which made it nice and cool, but it also made us keep changing our destination because of impassable conditions.  Our fearless mountain goat leader Steve finally got us up to the ridgeline between big and little cottonwood canyons with the plan of hiking down to the Prince of Wales mine, but we were again stymied with a steep snow field. We finally had to call it quits but still enjoyed a gorgeous view of far off mountains from the ridgeline.   

Did a good set of shoulder stretches in the morning, and did my strengthening exercises in the evening.  But I think I was a little too ambitious and tweaked something because my shoulder started hurting in some strange places.
