Hi, I'm Olympian Carrie Telethson and welcome to the C-Tolly Run podcast.

Today I'm interviewing Kelly Heron.

Kelly has been through so much in life already, and most people know her as a woman who survived the horrific attack while using a restroom on her run a year and a half

ago. I've been fortunate enough to get to know Kelly and her mom since that attack, and she's one of the

toughest women I've ever met, and one that is giving a voice to a subject that is so needed.

In this episode, we talk about her recent 40-minute PR in the Honolulu Marathon.

Her latest attack and how she's doing since then.

Her goals for the future.

Being on Dr. Oz with Nancy Grace.

but the fall before. She's such a sweetheart. We've had so much fun running together.

God, she's a good runner. Gosh, she's amazing. She's

gotten to the point now where she's like, I don't want to just be, you know, congratulated for

running because I'm old. I want to be a fast. I want to be congratulated because I'm fast. So she's been

kicking my butt. She has a few PRs of the family PRs that I'm still chasing down. I know. I saw that.

We're going to get into it. But I mean, you have been doing so well and you still have been, you know,

having some adversity along the way. But just because everyone
