More adventures of Mim Kagrini

Well, Mim Kagrini had been inactive lately - taking a break from it all after her Olympic swimming debut. But recently she decided to try her hand at another Olympic sport - fitness testing.

Mim, at her healthy weight of 230 (she's lost some weight since she cut out a couple ham and cheese sandwiches and one of those chocolate chip pancakes a day), has found it quite challenging to survive outside of the water. But she perseveres like a true Olympian.

Mim had to run a 40 meter dash, an agility drill, and a 300 meter shuttle. Mim ran her 40 in spectacular time - just under 10 seconds. In her agility drill she only fell twice, and in the 300 meter shuttle she made it 250 meters before collapsing!

Mim is so proud of herself! Fortunately for her, since the next Olympics aren't for another couple years, Mim thinks she can make it to at least 290 meters on the 300 meter shuttle and reduce her time to under 9 seconds on the 40 meter dash. This should put her in contention for 4th place for sure.

That's all from Mim for now. She thanks all her readers and supporters for their encouragement.
