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!

After yesterday's big fat ZERO running (I have lots of excuses but realize that ultimately the buck stops with me...), and a dinner consisting of trail mix and a BIG bowl of ice cream, I was thoroughly discouraged this morning and didn't want to run, figuring "what's the use".

But I figured I would feel even worse if I skipped another day of running, so I hopped on the tm and ran 5 (2 ~ 5mph and 3 ~ 5.5 mph, 1.5% incline).  Sure glad I didn't skip the run. (Sure wish I hadn't skipped yesterday's run.)

I haven't done my arm & shoulder exercises in a few days, but I have been doing lots and lots of snow shoveling, and that has to count for something!

3.25 mile run on tm, then needed to give evy a ride to the university, then came home and did another 3.25 on the tm.  Kept the running slow the whole time.  Really need to improve my diet because I am sure I would feel much better if I up'ed my intake of fruits & veggies.

3.75 miles on tm.  Kept a pretty slow pace except for when Supertramp's Long Way Home song came on - then I couldn't resist up'ing the pace a bit.

afternoon, 5.5 miles on tm, pretty slow.  Not optimal conditions for running today because I was out running errands with kids most of the day on a very minimal breakfast.  But, hey ho, weekly mileage is 20.75, which is the highest it's been in a long long time!
