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!

Hike to Hogum Ridge

No running, so I can't put any running mileage, but I tell you, the effort was immense and the hike lasted 8 hours.  I'm guessing 10-12 miles round trip, very steep slopes at times, lots of scrambling through humongous bolder fields, and scrambling along Hogum Ridge (can't forget the fear factor of scrambling here because the ridge was quite exposed in places).  The effort was hard but doable at the time, but my quads got quite the work out and were way sore for 4 days afterwards!  This was an absolutely awesome hike, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat!!!

Morning run to City Creek PA 12 & back.  Upper hips sore for some reason - either from my hike from Heaven earlier this week, or my inconsistent training over the last couple weeks, or both.
