...Sort of. I was get'n after it on mile 4 of 13 this morning when who did I spy approaching me on the trails at Fort Snelling? None other than Carrie Tollefson, 2004 middle-distance Olympian! Carrie is a leader in the Twin Cities running community via her camp and great videos on CTolle Run. I'll admit it was kind of cool to share a trail with someone who has ran at the highest level in the world! So, technically we didn't run together, per se, but she did wave....after I waved:) I need all the encouragement I can get training for my first marathon!
Reasons you should be a fan of Carrie:
- She is from the farmland of Central MN like Kelly and me
- She is a great runner!
- She invests in youth
- She is a good example of being a fit and active parent
- Informative, entertaining videos with a touch of dorkiness
- Though an accomplished runner, she has never run a marathon. Her first will be this year's Medtronic Twin Cities, with me and all my pals! You can follow her training here.
You rank right up there with Carrie in my book TBSIL!!!!
