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!

Dang - missed my goal by 4 seconds!
@%$#%! Got body slammed by Suzie - knocked me over twisting my left ankle. Grr!!! It's not too bad, though, a bit tender and won't be able to run for a couple days (aggravating since I already haven't ran for a couple days!), but should be able to run by mid week.
Ankle felt better today, so . . . 3 slow on treadmill (1% incline, slow warm up to 5.5 mph, then quicker cool down followed by walking). Did good stretching afterwards, but no shoulder strengthening.
Suzie Walk :) Run :) Stretch :) Shoulder Exercises :(
