    Is this Kara Gouchers post? or Amanda's? Is that Amanda's book signing or Kara? You do look quite a bit a like? The again you also look a lot like Juanita as well. Was it the lighting at Powells? I am just jealous you were at Powels - my favortie bookstore. I would move to Portland just to live, eat and work there.

    Awesome!! I remember how excited I was (I cried!) when I met Steve Prefontaine's sister. I can only imagine how exciting it was to meet Kara face to face!

    Very cool :) Can't wait for the contest! And yes we both have Colton's. I had the name picked out before she had hers and just about died when she used it. I seriously have never met another Colton or even known a Colton ever. I didn't want anyone to think I was copying her so I debating not using the name. In the end I'm glad I went with it and think it's fun that we both have Colton's. It was pretty cool at Boston when people compared me to her - not that I am anywhere near her level - haha - but it's nice when someone compliments you like that anyways!!

    That is so cool! I love Kara and I just finished reading her book, I think it is going to be a big help for me as I start to train for my first marathon. She seems so genuine and her advice is simple but substantial.

    I am surprised that you and kara didn't go out for a little run! Or maybe that's in the next post ...

    Juanita is a sweetheart. I met her in Eugene before the marathon last year. :)
