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! 

2011 Deseret News 10K Finish Line.
Dang - missed my goal by 4 seconds!

2.5 slow miles, and boy were they slow!!!!!!! Never got over 1.5% incline & 5 mph, but the good news was the sharp pain in my butt was absent while running, so hopefully it won't return and I can start running regularly again.  Hip pain hasn't been too bad lately, so I'll keep my fingers crossed on that as well. I ran in my new shoes :)

Also stretched good afterwards.
Did my full arm exercises afterwards.
Even did some real simple abdomen strengthening exercises. (have to start somewhere...)

3.5 slow miles, still slow, but a little faster than yesterday, and a mile further. Long middle stretch at 1% incline and 5.5 mph.  Good news (knock on wood!) no sharp jabbing pain in my butt while running. :)  Hip pain isn't too bad, either, hopefully new shoes & stretching has been helping everything.  Still keeping fingers crossed, meanwhile I will ramp things up (speed, incline, & distance) very slowly.

Also stretched good afterwards.
Did my full arm exercises afterwards.
Still need to do my simple abdomen strengthening exercises but need to get ready to meet Evy first.

Walked Suzie in morning...
