| 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!

Morning run from home to city creek pa8 and back. One of my neighbors was out running in city creek this morning, too, and we ended up running the last mile or so together. This made for a great work out for me because it was all uphill and he is much faster and I was huffin' and puffin' pretty hard to keep up. Plus, I was pushing the pace a bit before that point because I knew he was somewhere behind me and I was trying to get home before he caught me! Much cooler than yesterday with a nice cloud cover!
59.5, 31.25, 28.25 = 3 minute negative split for my run :)

Early morning run to city creek pa 8 and back. My legs are tired after running 4 days in a row - I'll probably take tomorrow off then try to do a long'ish run on Saturday. Hey ho, though, just went to my orthopedics doc today for my shoulder follow up. He's real happy with how I've progressed and has given me the green light to do whatever I want!! :) I'm still hesitant to go trail running, though, because I'm a klutz and fall at least 2-3 times each year on trails, but I am getting tempted by that nice shady trail that parallels the city creek road!! o&o

| Seriously need to work on increasing my speed, and since I tend to loaf along smelling the roses when I run city creek I decided to run on my TM. Warmed up 3/4 mile, then ran a bunch of tempo'ish miles that were punctuated with cursory pit stops and water breaks, then ran about 3/4 mile cool down. Not a great speed work out (especially considering all the breaks), but the tempo pace did force me to breath harder than usual. It's a bummer that my tempo pace is a minute+ slower than last year!! I better go stretch & do my shoulder stuff now because I have a lot of chores to do today.
