Meet A Playah -- Kim McGimsey






Age:
46
Superhero Name: tbd - although Captain Cuidado comes to mind right now. ;-)


Stretch Factor:
brain says 7 / body says 10
Choice Words: "Thank you Jesus!"
Goal: "A sense of accomplishment, great stories, great memories and control over my body again."

Kim spent the last 20 years in Advertising/Marketing for the Publishing Industry. She's currently living the dream as she learns to be a full-time mom, wife & volunteer. She was the last person in our group to sign up and slipped in on a charity spot. She's our eleemosynary athlete. I've been dying to use that word.

You can find Kim with McDonald's French Fries and chocolate when she is PMS-ing. Sweet & Salty -- Maggie, is that you, too? Her biggest challenge will be swimming and says, "...if my body could talk, I think it would say that I’m crazy, that this is definitely a 10. Put it this way. I’m probably the only one who will consult with my physician to be on the safe side." She's also going to take swim lessons before joining us for laps -- to make sure she's doing it properly and won't hurt herself -- as opposed to those of us who are more concerned with a bikini wax than proper technique. To give her credit, she CAN swim -- like to jump off the side of a boat in the Mediterranean after having a cocktail, but she does need to learn some strokes. She CAN save her own life in the pool, but doesn't want to doggie paddle a tri. An experienced Elliptical Athlete (3o minutes a day thankyouverymuch), she is doing this in honor of her daughter and most looks forward the challenge and camaraderie.

The first thing Kim's going to do after crossing the finish line is "Thank God, hug my family and pop open a bottle of champagne!". A little bubbly to relax the muscles. Mix it with MJ's beer and that's some real relaxing. Kim's daughter is in Daisies with Solomonkey.
