Kim Silverstein
I laced up my first pair of running shoes at the age of 14, almost by accident. After being cut from high school soccer tryouts, I found my home on the cross country and track teams. I was immediately hooked and have been running ever since. I left sunny California for the East Coast for college and graduate school where it turns out I hated running in the cold and refused to step on a treadmill! Seven years later, I returned to my native SoCal and immediately joined a running group where I found myself training for the LA Marathon.
Running has been my way to maintain my physical and mental health, especially since having children and juggling career transitions, and building community. As an Angeleno of over fifteen years, I love exploring the colors and textures of this city on foot. I’ve met some incredible friends through this sport and I believe running can add so much joy and fun to one’s life.
I earned my coaching certification from the Road Runners Club of America in August 2020. I have finished five marathons, 12 half marathons, 2 sprint distance triathlons, and 1 Olympic distance duathlon. When I’m not out pounding the pavement, I am a portrait and lifestyle photographer and can usually be found volunteering for our democracy and fiercely advocating for a more equitable public education system. I am a parent of two children, only one of whom has demonstrated an interest in following in her mother’s footsteps.
