Sara Oltvedt and I met virtually via Instagram after I ran the Fargo Half Marathon earlier this year. Sara lives in Fargo, ND although you can't tell until she actually says "Fargo". During this episode we talk about:
- How she declined giving the valedictorian speech in high school but said yes to this podcast
- Her three miniature doxens and how one was a spontaneous purchase after an injury she got after being attacked by a dog on a run
- How she got into running thanks to her son
- Fargo - her first race, the race itself, and the tragic death of Executive Director, Mark Knutson
- How parenting is the greatest endurance sport of all time
- The Chicago 2023 marathon after years of injury, a recent bout of arthritis, COVID, and a black flagged race
- The Twin Cities 10 Miler
- How her friend Molly is the best gift giver ever
- Peloton and the "You Get To Crew"
