Last night I went to a Runners Movie Premiere.. "There is no finish Line"
Joan Benoit was the first Marathon Runner to win the Olympic Metal.. to this day.. she is still running... a very inspiring movie..
I had to laugh at myself later.. I met this woman who Interviewed me about running. I thought she was a new type of reporter.. I had no idea she was a former Olympic Runner until the movie was about to begin and they introduced Carrie Tollefson. I actually asked her if she was a runner! I asked an Olympic runner if she ran!.. OMG!! at intermission I had to go ask her for a photo and to tell her that I was laughing at myself for not knowing.. She was very humble and kind .. I enjoyed our conversation both before the movie and after..
Here some info about Carrie.. and you might see me being interviewed on her website at www.ctollerun.com/
