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!

Another B&B run from my house up to picnic area 7 in city creek then back home. Warm this morning, with a touch of humidity for a change.

Ran from my house up to PA 7 in city creek canyon and back home.  Nice and cool in the canyon, but it was way hot running back up to my house!

AM:  2.8 miles. Just a short morning run to and from city creek gate with my daughter.  She was leaving on a 4 day trip today, and wanted to run before she left so I joined her.  I was planning on running some more after she left, but by the time I helped her and my other kids get all packed up for the trip it was getting way late, and I really needed to get in to work.  So, I'll need to finish running this evening.  Nice morning for running, too, last night's rain storms really brought the temps down!

PM:  3.2 miles.  Another short run around 9:30 at night.  I was totally tuckered out tonight for some reason.  Besides the "slow miles" and "fast miles" categories, they need a "super slow plodding miles" category for me!!

I'm dog sitting a 3 year old German Sheperd until Sunday night.  Now this little girl needs LOTS of exercise, and I was hoping to take her running, but she has NO MANNERS AT ALL!!  She yanks and pulls on the leash to no end.  She managed to pull me off balance once which gave me a pretty good tweak to the knee, so I think I'll just settle for "walking" her for now.  We took a 2 mile walk this morning, and a 3.5 mile walk to city creek this evening.

Knee is still tweaked, so I took Penny (the German Shepherd I'm watching) on a nice 2 mile morning walk, and a longer 4 mile evening walk up around the city creek area.  Knee is still feeling weak, and went out on me 3-4 times during the walk.  Saw some really cute raccoon babies on the walk.  It sure takes a long time to walk 4 miles!
