Centennial Trail Medallion

Visited my Centennial Trail medallion in Riverfront Park before they are all pulled up and relocated to a new bridge project near Gonzaga! It reads “Carol Dellinger Loves to Run 26.2”.  I feel very proud to have completed that distance 314 times!! I look forward to seeing it in a new location next year!

NCAA Women’s Basketball

My athletic career started as a college basketball player and my journey has given me the opportunity to reconnect with the sport. This basketball season I will be connecting with several women’s college programs around the country sharing my inspiring story. This week it was finalized to take my inspiration all the way to the 2020 Women’s Final Four Championships in New Orleans on April 3-5th! My personal road to the Final Four begins next week.....

Forever Grateful

It has been an incredible journey the last 10 years and I could not have done it without the support of my friends and this amazing surgical oncologist Dr Stephanie Moline from Cancer Care Northwest! Until you have been told you have the big C word, it is hard to describe what it feels like to be a survivor!! I am forever grateful to this woman!!

Boston Marathon Finishline

In my 30 years of running marathons I never qualified or had the opportunity to run in the Boston Marathon. While I am in Boston this weekend I came to stand on this famous marathon finish line to see what I had missed after crossing 314 other marathon finish lines!!! A little bitter sweet moment today!!!

Beautiful morning for the Great Pumpkin Run 5K here in Boston along the Charles River and Back Bay!!! What a fun finisher medal to receive and I didn’t have to run 26.2 miles to earn it!! I am loving this retirement from long distance races!!
