Bio for Kim

Hi - My name is Kim and I have been a little bit of a runner for 2 ½ years now! I have only one goal
as a runner - it is to exercise. I don't care about any PR. In fact, it took me a year before
I even knew what that meant. I don't like to run too fast or too far... I just get too tired.
Just a mile or two every couple of days or so will do. My dad died at age 45 of a
heart attack and I suspect his lack of exercise had something to do with it
(the cigarette smoking probably had a lot to do with it too).
With high cholesterol at age 41, I figure I'd better be proactive.
I have a husband and four kids and just finished nursing school, so I'm not ready to bite the dust yet.

This Summer I am on a cross-country trip with my family and though I
didn't set out to break any WIM records, I have run in most states that we have
traveled. So far, I have run in OK, TX, NM, CO, AZ (along the rim of the
Grand Canyon), NV (over the Hoover Dam), CA, NV, SD and WI (and of course,VA).
