Nice Story/One more reason to love Kara Goucher

[clseale]

So this weekend, I see I have a missed call from my running partner with a text that says, "OMG....you have to call me RIGHT NOW!" It was followed ten minutes later by a text that said, "I can't hold it in anymore!!! I just talked to KARA GOUCHER. On the phone! She called me!!" lol

Her husband was running the half in Nashville, but she wasn't with him. When he was done with the race, he walks around the corner and there's Kara. I guess he started talking to her and said something about the fact that his wife would be so jealous and is a huge fan, so she said, "Call her up!" So he did, and when she answered the phone she said, "K? Hi, this is Kara Goucher." Then they talked for a few minutes. My friend just remembers blurting out, "OMG, are you running Chicago?! You have to run Chicago!" lol I just thought it was such a cool thing for her to do.

Very cool! I'm proud to claim Kara as a fellow Minnesota girl, even though she now lives in Portland. :-)

Is this the same one who got to relay with The Legends? Because if she is, Imma hate her forever

Haha. No, a different friend. Apparently I have really lucky friends.

That's so cool! I really wished I had the chance to meet her in Nashville but she only signed autographs twice -- once in the last hour of the expo (which was anticipated to be crazy) and then during the race for 1 hour but for HMers (starting 2 1/2 hours after the race began).

That's so cool! I love her.

That is pretty neat.
I would do it too though if I was Kara Goucher just because I would love saying, "I am Kara Goucher."

Love it!!
