Summary

We are obsessed with the Olympics here at AMR, so we are thrilled to have two mother runners who both competed in past games. Our guests, Julie Swail-Ertel and Carrie Tollefson, now in the thick of career and parenting, both reflect on their time at the top of their sport, and offer some inside scoop on the Games. In this episode, you'll hear: Julie looking back on making history at becoming an Olympian in two different sports; Carrie sharing the excitement of marching in the opening ceremonies; Both women touching on life after the Olympics and moving past such an iconic life event; How both Julie and Carrie continue to contribute to their respective sports (and their plans for Paris!); …and more! At the top, co-host SWF share an Olympic (and Snoop Dogg) inspired summer goal. Spoiler alert: She achieved it after we recorded! When you shop our sponsors, you help AMR.
