Hi, I'm Olympian Carrie Tullifson and welcome to the C-Tali Run podcast. This past weekend was awesome. And I'm so excited to share with you a little bit about the Twin Cities Marathon and my race. I've had a bunch of people ask if I would give a little bit of a recap on C-Tali Run. So I'm going to do that real quick. We have an amazing episode today, so I don't want to

take too much time. But I do want to say thank you to so many people that were out there

cheering for me or sending me such nice messages beforehand or after. The house record is mine.

Woo-hoo! Charlie ran 301 years ago, I think more so because he was trying to win my heart.

And I've been trying ever since to get it.

Actually, I've only tried it once.

But I tried in 2013 to run the marathon and beat the house record, and it didn't go down.

I ran 302. And on Sunday, I ran

2156. So sorry, Bubba. It's all mine now. But more power to you to go out and get it.

So I ran the first half in 126.16. And getting there felt pretty good I was a little nervous my watch was kind

of ticking off the miles before I actually got to the mile markers that the race put out so I was

trying to figure out if I was on or if my GPS was off so when I got through the first half I was happy

to see 126-16 but I also was a little bit nervous because that's where I was the first half, I was happy to see 126.16. But I also was a little bit nervous because that's

where I was the first time around. And in my first race, I went 126, 252 pace, and I ended up running

302 pace. So, needless to say, I positive split the first time around. This year, I got through the first half

in 126-16, and my second half was 124-44. So negative split, which was pretty cool. I just had

such an amazing time. I was so thankful that I was able to run in my home state
