Quinn and I ran the Retro Run 5K on Saturday! Pretty amazing. I will definitely do another one again. Kudos to Abbey Gore and my sister for inspiring me @ 32 years of age to run a race. My time was 36:00 which is not extremely impressive (considering the Kenyan leader finished in 13:00 and then lapped us to run the race AGAIN), but I was just amazed that I finished with a consistent pace. My sweet husband also stayed with me the whole race (and let me beat him by one second) when he couldv'e gone a heckuva lot faster and made a much better time for himself. Thanks Baby! I like running with you. Will you be my friend forever? Check yes or no. Heather Nold took these pictures at the race, which I am so thankful for. I really look like I'm chugging, but I'm just about dead at the end. Just in case you think you cannot possibly run a 5K ever, I started with something called "From the couch to a 5K" on the trak shak's web site (
www.trakshak.com) and just see for yourself how easy it is to start. I completely surprised myself. There's another one in September in Pinson and I'm gonna do it. I addicted now. Woo hoo!

YAY!!! I am so proud of you!!! I have no idea why you thought you could not do it though. I remember walking with you at 5:00 in the morning and you were a speed racer then. I love you girl! Sooooo proud.
Woohoo! Way to go! I will be there to cheer you on in September. :) And YAY for you with the pics!
Wonderful! That is an amazing accomplishment.
Yay! I see people run and sometimes wish I had that endurance because it looks like a great way to just think and be by yourself. You inspire me!
Yippee! Love the pictures! While your in Pinson how about running to our house! Should be fun! I can't believe you and Abbey run! I remember Christy telling me how you used to run all the time back in the SEBC days! I want to learn to run! There's just no good place at my house! That's a lame excuse isn't it?! By the way I love this "heckuva"! I hope you and Quinn are good!
Good for you! I knew you could do it, Kim! How sweet of quinn to run with you.
I think your time was great, girl and you look so very cute in your bandana! (which is the most important thing anyway, right?) Great job!
KIM!! You are AWESOME!! I am so proud of you!! And I love your blogspot too!! Kerri told me about it this morning so I wanted to check it out!! I cant get my friends going with it!! :) I've already added you to my "Blog Buddies"...I'll be keeping in touch!! (wpwardlaw.blogspot.com)
Kimmy,
If you come to Pinson, please let me know so i can come cheer you on. I remember you "encouraging" me out of bed for early morning jogs around Cahaba heights in the early days of our ensemble tour. I was secretly about to die from exhaustion, but you were determined and untiring. Obviously, you still have it 9+ years later!
Love, Naomi
