first half marathon, the Mike to Mike half

Marathon at Fort Bragg. Her mom was
there to cheer for her at the finish line, as
was her son Alex.
"Crossing that finish line and having
a uniformed soldier putting that medal
around my neck … the emotions got the
best of me," she said.
She's also forged close bonds with
members of the Fayetteville Running Club,
who encouraged her on her way to logging
a whopping 846 miles in 2019. Her goal for
this year is to top that with 1,000 miles.
"Running has given Kim more
confidence in herself and just made her

Tammy Gillis. "It does that for most

Barefoot has lost an incredible 70
pounds – "Like losing a small person," she
says – and was featured in Runner's World
magazine in September. She's gained an
invaluable measure of self-esteem and
serenity.
"ere's so much peace in running," she
said. "I am just so grateful for every mile."
