For someone who
once hated running,
detested running, in
fact, escaped every
time the opportunity
or obligation presented
itself, it's amazing how
sweet those finish lines
seem to Kim Barefoot
these days.
"I was unathletic,
uncoordinated, never
on a team,'' she said.
"When I was in high
school, I used to call
home, 'Mom, they're
running in PE class.
Come check me out.'"
