Hey, CTR family, you want to look good, run gooder? Well, I always sport my gooder shades,

and I know that those of you who see pictures of me or know me, no, I wear them like 24-7.

But why do I love these sunglasses so much? Well, they stay on your face when you do any activity.

They don't bounce or slip. The price point is right where you need them to be. The colors are so cute. The names are

funny. I just feel like part of the running community, to be honest, when I'm wearing them,

but also now they're kind of spreading everywhere. So I golf, I play tennis, I play basketball,

I run, I am on TV in them. I just do everything in them. So check out all their great offers. Plus,

if you go to gooder.com slash Carrie, you'll receive free shipping. And who doesn't love

free shipping? So let's go have some fun with Gooder. Hi, I'm Olympia and welcome to the C Sea Talley Run podcast. Today I had the honor of interviewing Erica Kemp.

Erica is a two-time USATF champion. And she most recently ran the Boston Marathon where she ran 233 in her debut and became the fastest American-born black female marathoner. There's a list out there,

and she is now on top of it, and it's pretty awesome. She went to NC State, and as of this week,

she's made a big move to Providence, Rhode Island, where she'll train under Kurt Beringer as her

coach, and she's going to train with Olympian Mariel Hall as her new training partner. She's now running for Brooks, so lots of changes.

In this episode, we hear all about the Boston Marathon, her training and ups and downs,

getting to the starting line, her love of the sport, her next event,

all those big changes that I've already mentioned, her range in distances,

and we also brought out the good old rapid fire questions.

I love this episode and I hope you do as well. So let's get after it.

All right, Erica, super pumped to have you on the show. Last year we got to host some panels

together at the Boston Marathon this year. You were busy running it. And I just had such a blast with you on the mic that I couldn't wait to get you on the mic. So thanks for coming on the show. Thank you. I'm so glad to finally be here. I know. I was just like, that's what we were just saying. Like, how is this not happened? I think last year i just assumed and then i'm like

no because i was looking back on the website i'm like she has not been on my show yet what's wrong with us
