| Location: Salt Lake City,UT,USA Member Since: Dec 29, 2009 Gender: Female Goal Type: Other 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!

| 4.5 miles, varied my speed a bit, but mostly slow and easy running. Did my stretching afterwards, tho! | |

Wanted a harder workout today, so I ran easy for 1 mile, then 1/4, 1/4, 1/2, 1/2, 1/4, 1/4 at 6mph (don't laugh!!!), with slow jogs between. Then finished running easy. The 6 mph was a good workout, but didn't quite push me into 2:1 breathing, so it was probably closer to a tempo pace, rather than an interval pace. At least it lets me know where I'm at in my training, and I felt good doing it - I thought it would be a lot harder than it ended up being. And, I did my stretching afterwards!! TM 1.5% | |

Just some easy miles, and post running stretches. At work, I walked up all the stairs twice. That's got to be good for me!
Will plan a longer run for Saturday, hopefully outside, and will try to either push myself on the hills, or incorporate some tempo running into the middle of the run. | |

Really did not want to run this morning and put it off for as long as possible. But once I started, it was great and an instant mood lifter! It was snowing outside, and the air tasted so fresh and sweet.
I ran to the capital building turn around, then to city creek, then up city creek to the gas pipeline area, then home. Mostly a slow and easy pace with 6 mini strides of about 20-25 seconds each thrown in - they felt good, but hard. I felt good until I got 3 blocks from home - then "bonked" and was reduced to "plodding" the last couple blocks! (Sometimes I can push it those last few blocks, but not today.)
This was the longest outside run I have done in about three years; hope my cranky knees don't complain. Afterwards, I did two sets of my post running stretching routine. I'm ready for a snooze, but unfortunately have a bunch of chores to get done!
Basically met my goals for the week, and am pleased with my post running stretching. Next week's goal is to run and stretch similar to this week, and to also do light strength training 2-3 times. (I did some sissy-sissy push ups and sissy situps the other night - boy were they hard! Got to work at them until they get easier!) | |
