Leah Connor 

I've run 33 marathons since 2007. I finished my first at Marine Corps in 5:17:03, my 3:36:35 PR in Chicago 2012 and my slowest in 7:11:46 at Walt Disney World in a walking aircast with broken sesamoids (not my smartest move, but my bedazzled boot was a crowd pleaser!). My favorite marathon was Boston 2017 because I ran side by side with my identical twin sister. The most rewarding part of my marathoning journey was becoming a volunteer race director for the Rivanna Greenbelt Marathon in 2014. Giving runners the opportunity to achieve their marathon goals filled me with joy. Cheering for runners in an inflatable T-Rex or Air Dancer costume is another way I love to participate. 

Charlottesville Track Club on Charlottesville Inside-Out

@LeahCville on Charlottesville Inside-Out

I was recently interviewed for a local PBS program, Charlottesville Inside-Out, to discuss running and my volunteer involvement with the Charlottesville Track Club. You can watch the amazing segment online here: http://video.ideastations.org/video/2365656451/

I was thrilled to be approached by Terri to talk about my volunteer involvement with the Charlottesville Track Club and my passion for running.

From the first contact she had with me to watching the piece air for the first time on TV, the entire experience was one of the highlights of my time in Charlottesville.

Being interviewed by Terri was like talking with an old friend. She helped make me feel comfortable and valued and it showed in the piece.

Terri was thorough and accommodating in finding the resources she needed, including photos and interviews, for a piece which I feel is an amazing and touching tribute to the running community in Charlottesville.

I've watched the segment three times already and it brings a huge smile and sense of pride to me every time!
