Kim Miller

In an effort to find an alternative for my many years of running (having to stop due to feet injuries), I signed up for a Portland marathon training session. After years of walking marathons, I transitioned to racewalking and have not looked back. I find the sport a wonderful way for me to get a great workout while not putting the burden on my body. I got connected with Judy and she worked with me on my form and speed, allowing me to get the confidence to actually compete. Now, I just racewalk for the enjoyment and peace of mind it brings me. I work on the WOW committee supporting various marketing and promotional efforts, as well as co-managing, with Judy, the WOW web site. When not working on WOW activities, I'm a marketing manager at a local high tech company.
