Runner Profile

Welcome to September!  I am so excited to share that we have LESS THAN 1,000 MILES LEFT until we can say we ran to Afghanistan!!  We are currently at 6,067 miles.  Keep it up!  We're almost there!


In order to keep our eye on the prize and stay motivated, I want to introduce you to just one many big mile contributors - Kim Williamson.  You may recognize her as she is often seen running the trails on Camp Lejeune.  

Kim is a mother of three kids who range from ages 5-23.  Her husband is in Headquarters and Service Company and has been with 2D LAR since September 2010.  Kim has been running since high school and also enjoys racking up the miles on her bike.  To her, running is her time to relax and let her mind roam.  It gives her time to think about plans for the week, what to add to her grocery list, when she needs to mow the lawn again, etc.  And, like most of us, Kim loves to eat!  So her daily workouts help her maintain a healthy lifestyle.  Her kids - Courtney (23), Cullen (11), and Katie (5) are also supporters of our goal to run to Afghanistan and in between college at LSU for Courtney, Soccer for Cullen, and Ballet for Katie, they have all contributed miles.  

Thank you Kim and family for all your miles and motivation!  We hope to share another runner profile with you as we continue our Run to Afghanistan!


Stay motivated and keep the miles coming!
