#3. Finish with a BQ in 3:50. (Just something to have out there if the stars were aligned exactly right for me that day!)


Personal:

Married to Tom for 21 really great years!

Five kids, oldest on an LDS mission in Tokyo, Japan.

Love to have a good time and enjoy time with family and friends.

Race: Manti 5K (3.1 Miles) 00:23:55
Total Distance
6.50

Well, I was able to break 24 today!  Yippee!  I'm not quite sure I would have been able to do it without Coach Tom pacing me!  I may have found reasons to slow down if I would have been on my own.  They didn't have any awards.  In fact, the only way to know your time was to listen very carefully as you crossed the finish line as the kid spoke it very softly.  Everyone with me declared me the winner of my age division since I was probably the oldest female running it.  Oh well, it was also free!   My brother, Jeremy, was able to knock a few minutes off of his time...so congrats Jer!

Kim, is this not a PR? Under 24, big improvement from Heart of Hollady. 200 commando points for the PR, 100 commando points to Coach Tom.

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

Awesome running today Kim!!! You totally crushed that last mile as you chicked all those guys (and a few gals).

Yes Brent this is a HUGE PR!!!

From Jody on Jul 04, 2008 at 14:50:13

You did awesome!! What a great PR!

From sarah on Jul 04, 2008 at 17:52:53

Great job Kim!!!

From JohnA on Jul 04, 2008 at 18:30:10

I am amazed at the race organization abilities of Sanpete county. . . .

Nice PR on breaking 24.

From tarzan on Jul 04, 2008 at 21:39:00

Congratulations on a sub 24! I'm hoping for a sub 30 one day this next year.

From marion on Jul 04, 2008 at 21:44:12

Yeah! You did it! A great day!! Did you ROAST?

From Sasha Pachev on Jul 04, 2008 at 23:02:17

I assume you verified the length of the course. If so, congratulations on the PR and making the non-boltushka standard.

With good mileage and consistent training you might be able to align the stars to get BQ in St. George.

From Kim on Jul 04, 2008 at 23:35:52

Sasha,

The course was actually .12 short. My official time was 22:55. We added a minute for the extra length. I don't know if that is a true PR on a situation like that. Tom and I both had our Garmins on and they both measured the course to be 2.98. My last mile was 7:20 and I had a little kick at the end so I feel like I would have been able to keep the pace for the last .12. What is your take on the situation.

From Kim on Jul 04, 2008 at 23:37:01

Oooops...here's a ? for that last sentence in case there are any grammar police out there. :)

From MarcieJ on Jul 05, 2008 at 10:27:00

Good Job Kim on your PR! You are getting some great training in and are going to really tear it up at SG!

From Christi on Jul 05, 2008 at 12:51:15

Yay Kim!!! I can really appreciate this achievement 'cause I'm dying to get under 24 min. myself! And to think you did it in the HOT HOT summer time- WAY TO GO!!!!!!!

From leslie peterson on Jul 05, 2008 at 23:15:26

Way to go Kim!!! Congrats on your PR!!!!!

From Terry on Jul 06, 2008 at 17:59:26

I knew you had a faster 5K in you. Great job! Remember to not be disappointed like Tom when you can't get a PR every race.

From Lybi on Jul 07, 2008 at 10:06:28

YEEEEE-Haw! Great race, Kim! Congratulations on a sweeeet PR!

From Sunny on Jul 07, 2008 at 17:13:38

Great Race for you Kim! You are doing so great! Our home town 5K was timed by a cell phone so we had to go off of Dustin's garmin for both time and distance. The race was a bit long rather than short. But Congrats on the awesome time anyway!
