Thank You, CC1


This tumbler will keep me hydrated and caffeinated in the classroom. Thank you, Carolyn. Those races were memorable experiences. In July of 2017, I paced Carolyn's second half of her full marathon to a strong finish. That day, she set a huge personal record on a course with challenge terrain. The pebbles on the hard packed road gave her feet some issues. Yet, as always, she powered through to a fantastic time. In April of 2018, she was on a mission to achieve a new goal. I again had the pleasure to pace her second half of the race. This time, the course was challenging and it was a hot day. Nonetheless, she was fitter and more determined than ever. She ran a Boston Marathon qualifying time (BQ). Only a small fraction of all runners hit this elite marker, Carolyn is now and forever among this group of athletes. Way to go!
