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!

Dang - missed my goal by 4 seconds!

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!!

Good luck getting in some more miles today!

You're a very dedicated runner to get out early to run and then out again at night, especially with all your mom responsibilities.

Agree 100% on needing a new category! They say all miles are good miles though, so well done.
