Carrie Tollefson quotes
-
“A marathon is a like a roller coaster... You might toss your cookies, jump for joy, pass out, or have to close your eyes and just breathe. Even when it is going smooth, all of a sudden there can be a drop or even better, an acceleration. Hang on, stick to your plan, and enjoy every step of the way. I can't wait to do another....or maybe ten! Get after it!”
-- Carrie Tollefson -
“Being an Olympic runner and now a mommy, it is so important to me to help my children learn early on how to be active and stay healthy.”
-- Carrie Tollefson -
“I think I was just trying to coast and you can't coast and try and win at the same time, you know? It'll be three years now since those wins, but the last couple of years I've just really been trying to put my miles in, get them up there to 80 miles a week, 90 miles a week and put the work in again.”
-- Carrie Tollefson
