April Runner of the Month: Kim Moncibais
When and why did you start running? I started running in 2010, after turning 40, because I wanted some type of active lifestyle (besides being an Uber for my kids). #doingsomethingallaboutme
How long have you been a runner? I’ve been a runner for almost 7 years! I don’t even have a marriage that has lasted that long :) #imonaroll
First race? Rudolph Run 5k in December 2010 – I almost died #notreallybutalmost
Most recent race? Luckenback Ragnar because no sleep and 200 mile relay sounded fun #finishlinewasatabar
Favorite piece of gear? Garmin 235 #dontmakemerunwithoutit
What shoes do you run in? Asics Nimbus 18 #wideshoeboxforthisshortgirl
Favorite way to cross train? Camp Gladiator three times per week #yesiliftbro
Best running memory? Seriously, you can’t make me choose! I have so many for so many different reasons. Probably best one was a butt load of MRTT ladies running RNR NOLA last year when I completed my first full #twentysixpointtwobeforebourbonstreet
Bucket list race? This tends to change occasionally, but most recent list is New York Marathon #seeyouinnovember
Favorite race so far? I love the RNR Vegas race every year, but Ragnar was pretty awesome too #whereverbeerisatfinishlinereally
Do you have a favorite distance? One mile. JK. I prefer the half #longercutsintomycelebratorynachotime
What is something that most people do not know about you? I drink a little and cuss a lot #butiloveJesus #theFwordisanounverbadjectiveadverb
Favorite tune to rock out to while running? I haven’t listened to music while running in about 4 years #ionlyrunwithotherssotheycantalktome
Best part about running? Time away from responsibilities and spending it with the ladies for sure! #andbankingcalories
Who inspires you? Everyone in MRTT! There are so many that have made an amazing impact on my life and keeping me motivated to run. Special thanks to Tracy T, Alicia L, Jessica L, Kelly D, Aimee S, Christy T, Kim L, Lisa B, Marissa S, Teri A, Rochelle B…the list goes on #iknowiammissingsomanynamesonthelist
What has been your biggest challenge so far? It hasn’t really been a challenge, but more so a mindset that pace doesn’t matter. I’ll never be a fast runner anyway, so might as well go out there and enjoy the run. #willstopforselfiesanytime
Any words of advice? Find a group of ladies in your area that have the same running schedule! Not only is it motivating to keep running, but it’s also like going to see a free psychologist. #runningisalsotherapy
