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!

Upper hip has been bugging me lately so I thought I would try the treadmill instead of my usual city creek run.  Hip still hurt while running, but didn't seem to hurt as much as it does when I run outside.  5 miles @ 1.5 incline, with the middle 3 being somewhat tempo pace @ 6 mph.

Probably the best thing I can do for my hip is to start stretching after running again - I've been bad at that . . .

Oh, I did my arm strengthening exercises this morning. :)  (First time in a week - I'd kind of fallen out of that routine, too.)

Really hoping to get a good routine going again; having my kids switch from summer vacation to school and having Labor Day thrown in there always seems to throw all my plans out the window!

Another nice hike up Mt. Millicent then up Wolverine Peak to Patsy Marley, then back down thru Twin Lakes dam/pass to Brighton. Estimate ~ 8 miles & lots of elevation and climbing including scrambling.  lotsa fun :)
