Running Accomplishments:

I started running in the fall of 2007. I truly believe I was inspired to start running and I have seen some very big blessings come my way because of following that inspiration.

Ran Boston Marathon 2013 & 2014. My favorite PRs: 2011 at the SG 1/2 and 5K where I ran the 5K in 22:22. 2013 Nebo 1/2 (downhill) 1:36:15

Short-Term Running Goals:

Long-Term Running Goals:

Running throughout life with Tom. Staying healthy and happy.

Learn from others, learn from myself, work hard, do my best, enjoy!

On running and on life.....

On occasion we need to make a second effort - and a third effort, and a fourth effort, and as many degrees of effort as may be required to accomplish what we strive to achieve.

Quick race report before leaving St. George for California.

After doing the 1/2 last Saturday and being sick this week I was able to do my best 5K ever. This was the first 5K I have done since starting up seriously last fall.

Mile 1 8:03

Mile 2 8:32

Mile 3 8:49 (oooohhhhh uphill ninety! Not enjoyable at all!)

Pushed the end to overtake the gal in front of me by a nose at the finish line!

Kim let me be the first (if I can type fast enough) to give you a HUGE CONGRATS!!! This was a super effort to pull off the huge PR on a very tough hilly course after being sick all week!!!

You rock!!! I think you'll be bringing home a whole lot of hardware this year with all the AD placings!

From Jody on Sat, Apr 12, 2008 at 12:24:41

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You did an awesome job on a tough course especially after being sick! You Rock!

From Terry on Sat, Apr 12, 2008 at 12:35:50

Nice PR, especially on a sick week. Congradulations!

From Sunny on Sat, Apr 12, 2008 at 12:42:03

Excellent Job Kim! Great race for you and all that has been going on! Dustin went to the race but I had to take my son to Basketball practice. I was thinking about actually doing the 5K until I started having problems with my knee. Anyway, Way to go! Have fun in California!

From Lybi on Sat, Apr 12, 2008 at 14:08:42

Goodness--I thought you were sick! I had pictured you hanging out in pajamas all day and drinking juice--not running a great 5K with a gutsy finish! Great job!

From Christi on Sat, Apr 12, 2008 at 14:38:01

GREAT race, especially after doing a half last weekend! WOW! So fun to meet you today! Congrats on the 2nd place & have a BLAST in CA!

Great races on back to back weekends. Way to go. Congrats on the PR.

From Clay on Sat, Apr 12, 2008 at 17:27:57

Congrats Kim on a great race. The WOW factor is starting to kick in after a tough winter.

Be safe in So. Cal

From Brent on Sat, Apr 12, 2008 at 18:41:37

Kim, how big was the nose on the other gal? 100 commando points for the PR and 100 for the second in age division. Awesome improvement for the WOW.

Stay Kool, faster and faster, B of BS Rools out

Hey girl, Nice job! I'm sorry I missed you this morning, it would have been so cool to meet you. I was a couple minutes behind you, I wish I had known, would have inspired me to kick a little harder ;.)

Have a great time in CA and maybe we'll run into each other at the next race!

From Kim on Sat, Apr 12, 2008 at 23:21:24

Tom: Thank you so much! Couldn't do it all without ya!

Jody: Thank you! It's fun to be told I rock!

Terry: Thank you! You've always been my and Tom's running hero!

Sunny: Thank you! It was nice to meet Dustin. Good luck with the knee!

Bonnie: Thank you! Yes! Time to enjoy vacation, (which includes some running, I'm sure).

Laura: Thank you! Fun to get the AD award!

Lybi: Thank you! There were some days that is exactly what I was doing!

Christi: Thank you! It was great to finally meet you! You're just as cute as I imagined!

Andy: Thank you! Look who's talking! You da man!

Clay: Thank you! I guess that WOW stuff is good for us! We'll have more of it,but hopefully not till next year!

Brent: Thank you! I love commando points! BTW I looked on runnercard.com and found that the girl I outran must not have had a nose point four seconds long, because that is what I beat her by.

Carrie: Thank you! Sure wish I could have met you! Next time!

Way to go with your best 5k ever - especially after being sick. On top of that the 5k course in not extremely fast. Keep it up!

From Ian on Sun, Apr 13, 2008 at 02:54:57

Congratulations Kim, what a race after being sick! Your good consistent training before that is paying off. Have a good holiday smug with a new PR and an age div placing.

From josse t on Sun, Apr 13, 2008 at 10:37:56

Wow back-to-back races and the follow it up with a PR as well as a placing in the age group. You're a killer out there on the course.

Hope your trip to Cal-eee-fornia goes well.

Your time was impressive in it's own right, but the way you overcame adversity is awe-inspiring. You've got some great potential.
