0:00.0	Hey, everyone. I'm Olympian Carrie Tellison and welcome to the C-Tally Run show. I just returned home from the Bank of America's Chicago Marathon and I am so pumped. Today on the show, we have the new American record holder, Connor Mann.
0:21.8	Connor was fourth overall this past weekend and broke a 23-year-old record set by the great

0:36.0	But that's not the only guest. We have Natasha Rogers. Natasha just finished as the
0:41.7	top American female in Sunday's race, and she ran a new personal record of 223-28. She was sixth overall,
0:49.3	and following Natasha in seventh and eighth were two of my Minnesota gals, Olympian Dakota
0:54.3	Popain and Gabby Rooker, who rounded out the top three Americans.
0:58.7	In this episode, we're going to hear all about their races, their journeys getting there,

And when we were studying and I was talking, I was like, okay, Ed, nobody wants to hear from me on the broadcasts when we're talking
2:01.5	about Connor because, you know, he's like a second dad to you.
2:04.7	Like, he knows everything about you. Right. And of course, he was like, okay, they want to hear from you. I'm like, well, okay, I'll add in some fun things that I know about Connor. But he said he's never been more confident in you being able to run a fast time. And he said,
